Of its kind, The Bourne Supremacy is incredibly skilled -- much more exciting than its predecessor.
Another of those incoherent Robert Ludlum spy thrillers with more logistics than logic.
An entertaining, well-constructed spy story (though not as satisfying as the first film -- perhaps because it's not as simple).
The movie is utterly synthetic.
Good enough to make one have faith in certain things again, like spy movies, sequels and the charismatically low-key, quietly lethal movie-star charisma of Matt Damon.
A tour-de-force of thriller filmmaking.
A smooth but violent thriller.
More than adequately serves as a no-nonsense escapist action thriller.
As Bourne seeks to uncover his past and bury those who would cross him, director Paul Greengrass masterfully blends sight, sound and silence to do much more than entertain: This film leaves a deep psychological imprint.
While not as engaging as "The Bourne Identity," the sequel fills a void in the undernourished spy movie genre.
What more could you ask for in a sequel?
Um filme de espiões para adultos.
A huge leap of faith is required to connect, and many plot details appear to have not been properly thought through.
It is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller.
By the end of the film, we've more or less given up trying to figure out how the characters are making their deductions; we just have to take it on faith that somehow everyone knows to go to a specific address in Moscow.
A thriller with a brain, a grown up film for grown ups
A smart thriller for a smart audience.
Flashes of color and streaks of movement can make for a striking picture, but only if you can see what's taking place, not to mention if you care about who is in jeopardy.
Where it could have descended into a revenge drama, it settles for justice instead -- and not the kind that puts down one's enemies, but the kind that calls for confession, even reconciliation.
[Director] Greengrass proves himself equally adept at action, building on the edginess of Doug Liman's original with a feverish handheld camera and frenetic editing.
Supremacy is, minor quibbles aside, a worthy successor to The Bourne Identity.
