Greengrass and Damon of the first three are back, so yeah...just shut up and take my money!

Totally agree. I remember watching Identity as a 13 year old and it instantly became my favorite movie.
I think the suspense is largely driven by a lack of soundtrack, particularly during the hand to hand combat. And the way Greengrass films makes you feel like you're actually in the action (although he can get a little overzealous on the shakycam at times).
