I’ve known of the Jason Bourne trilogy for well over a decade. Yea, I know there was a fourth, without Matt Damon, and a fifth one with him in it. The entire trilogy, this being the second venture, The Bourne Supremacy, must rank among the very best action films. It was a thrilling experience, it gripped your attention from start to finish, the plot didn’t wander, it was easy to follow, Damon was fantastic in his role, the support cast was terrific and the stunts were performed by actual stuntmen rather than computer productions. The Bourne Supremacy was as impressive as two which followed. Like a great novel, just didn’t want it to end.

Unusually for a modern Hollywood film, I fell in love with the Bourne Identity. It was a fresh gritty take on the mega budget James Bond type thrillers, there was genuine chemistry between Damon and Potente and a satisying, optimistic ending that was not sugary. I waited in trepidation for The Bourne Supremacy but was disapointed. Franka Potente was killed off inside ten minutes, the camera work was too shaky and there was no depth, just non stop action refusing to slow down for any character interaction or development. I watched both Bourne fims the other night and I have mellowed in my assessment of the Bourne Supremacy. Sure, what I initially thought of it is true but taken in context it is still a good film that is far better than anything Hollywood is offering. It is great to see European locations and the brief insight into European culture that is never seen in Hollywood films. I am also intrigued by Bourne's (or whatever his name is!!) amnesia. Is it real or is it selective? Was it caused by a pyschiatric episode or by his 30 million dollar training? What really makes this film is Damon's emotional intensity. He holds the film together and makes his character believable which is great considering the screen time he has when he's not running , driving, shooting or beating up people. It is a good film but I hope there is a third film and that they concentrate more on Bourne's character rather than the action.Read full review
In this sequeal to the original movie, it follows up with the corruption within the cia. A top member in the cia, who uses cia black ops money to buy oil futures and makes millions with a russian co-hort try and frame bourne with the killoings of 3 cia agents. But un-beknownest to anyone, the killings started in the first movie, when he kept remembering little things through the first film. And now, in the second film, these little things come out again. Marie, is killed by accident while she and bourne are trying to escape an assassination attempt. Bourne thinks it's the cia. In reality it is the greedy man's answer to a long awaited fix to an old problem. Pamela Landy, is trying to figure everything out. Bourne is just one step ahead of her in the game. The Police are 16 steps behind everyone. Bourne gets the goods on the corrupt official and turn them into Landy. The corrupt official, well. Bourne makes his way into Russia to explain to a daughter of a family it was him who killed her parents, not a murder suicide. Leaving the daughter even more confused than ever. BY the time the end of the film comes about...you start to wonder, is it worth it. The cliffhanger part is in true bourne fashion. When he finally tells Landy to get some sleep, she looks tired. And the classic scene is when bourne is on the move again. I would like to see a 3d sequel to this movie. Matt DAmon play an excellent part as Bourne, and I cannot see anyone else portraying this part.Read full review
The government's most wanted amnesiac super-spy returns in this thrilling third installment in the Jason Bourne franchise. THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM picks up where the THE BOURNE SUPREMACY left off, with Bourne once again racing around the globe, desperate to uncover the secrets of his identity. Having just lost his girlfriend and only companion, his search for answers is now fuelled by much more than his own self-preservation. The film kicks off with Bourne tracking down a British journalist (Paddy Considine) who he believes has valuable information about his past. He quickly discovers that the government conspiracy runs far deeper than he realized, and so begins a riveting, action-packed game of cat and mouse with the CIA. Bourne plows through the bad guys like a mini-tornado, and after some breathtaking fight sequences and several nail-biting car chases, he closes in on the truth in a climactic stand-off on the streets (and rooftops) of New York City. Joan Allen and David Strathairn are excellent as two battling CIA directors, and Julia Styles pops up for a small but important turn as Bourne's former government contact. Matt Damon continues to give Bourne the perfect mix of tough guy determination and sad-eyed desperation, and despite his physics-defying fists, he never comes off as the invincible super hero. Rather, the appeal of Bourne remains in his humanness--he feels pain, bloodies his knuckles, and mourns the loss of his lover. It's this emotional and physical vulnerability that keeps you on the edge of the seat, holding your breath for him. Well, that and the totally awesome fight scenes, of course.Read full review
A lot of sequels suck. This wasn't quite as good as the first Jason Bourne film, but was reasonably close. A good movie to have on while you're cleaning out the garage.
