Of its kind, The Bourne Supremacy is incredibly skilled -- much more exciting than its predecessor.

Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Top CriticAnother of those incoherent Robert Ludlum spy thrillers with more logistics than logic.
07/29/04
Top CriticAn entertaining, well-constructed spy story (though not as satisfying as the first film -- perhaps because it's not as simple).
07/24/04
Top CriticThe movie is utterly synthetic.
07/23/04
Top CriticGood 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.
07/23/04
Top CriticAlmost everything that made The Bourne Identity refreshing -- the wit, the irony, the suspense, the novelty of its premise -- is gone.
07/23/04
Top CriticWhile the movie has a higher IQ than the average summer action blitz, it underperforms as a thrill-dispenser.
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 CriticThe movie skillfully delivers a series of fights, stalkings, plottings and chases, punctuated by a little brooding.
07/23/04
Top CriticJust as thrilling, edgy and entertaining as the first installment.
07/23/04
Top CriticA terse, tight, impressively smart package.
07/23/04
Top CriticA solid cloak-and-dagger actioner.
07/23/04
Top CriticAs a video game that propels the viewer through the course, Supremacy is supremely successful. I'm not sure that's enough for a movie narrative.
07/23/04
Top CriticThe Bourne Supremacy not only lives up to the promises of the novel by Robert Ludlum, but in many ways manages to improve on the first film.
07/23/04
Top CriticSpy movies just got thrilling again.
07/23/04
Top CriticGripping film.
07/23/04
Top CriticWith its foot pressed to the floor from beginning to end, Bourne is a non-stop gas.
07/23/04
Top CriticIf you've forgotten the kick you get from watching a globe-trotting, butt-kicking, whiplash-paced action movie done with humor, style and smarts, take a ride with The Bourne Supremacy.
07/23/04
Top CriticFalls short of its predecessor in almost every area, except perhaps acting.
07/23/04
Top CriticThe Bourne Supremacy is essentially a string of how- will-he-get- out-this-one set pieces, but they have been cooked up with nerve-frying elan by British director Greengrass.
