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.

Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Improves on the original by leaps and bounds.
03/05/05
Exhausting but thrilling at the same time.
07/23/04
Does what it promises -- gives great tense drama and action. However, jerky camera work is somewhat annoying.
07/29/04
Most of Supremacy is an overedited headache that hardly makes up in frayed nerves what the visuals lack in clarity.
07/20/04
Top Critic'Un buen thriller, bien realizado y bien actuado que sirve para pasar un par de horas a gusto en la oscuridad de una sala de cine, pero no le pida más'
01/24/05
... delivers the expected adrenaline-driven thrills with a fresh eye and a refreshing attitude...
07/22/04
Energetic, edgy and intelligent, film is a worthy follow-up to its exceptional 2002 predecessor.
07/27/04
Eye-rattling visual chaos that many moviegoers will want to rate X, for Excedrin.
07/23/04
A sequel that, whatever its actual motivation, doesn't feel like a studio-mandated cash grab, but an organic continuation of the original, both in content and style.
07/22/04
Falls short of its predecessor in almost every area, except perhaps acting.
07/23/04
Top CriticThe movie is mostly a series of frenetic clashes, dubious near misses and car chases. It lacks the human interest and snowy splendor of the first movie.
07/23/04
Top CriticOn balance The Bourne Supremacy is an engaging thriller (if less engaging as a character drama), and, at least in comparison to its predecessor, it reigns supreme.
08/06/04
A breathless sequel with tense intellectual punch, smart, seat-gripping action, and a hero who is utterly compelling, almost without saying a word.
07/21/04
Bourne Supremacy's tag line, "They Should Have Left Him Alone" is so completely apropos for this particularly puzzling sequel.
07/22/04
This admirable franchise should change your idea of what makes a good thriller.
07/23/04
Top CriticIt has an enviable level of clarity and plausibility while dynamically satisfying the conventions and requirements of the thriller.
07/21/04
The movie culminates with a sloppily edited car chase that goes on for so long that I had to be reminded: Was Matt Damon playing Jason Bourne or Sheriff Buford T. Justice?
07/29/04
The Bourne Supremacy fizzles with its reliance upon a plethora of chase sequences to compensate for its failure to create an engrossing protagonist.
07/22/04
This dark, daring sequel is Bourne's journey to acknowledge the blood on his hands and atone for sins of his half-remembered past. It's a tougher, more complicated movie.
