Synopsis: The Bourne Identity Following the smash worldwide success of 2002's The Bourne Identity, Universal Pictures brings the second installment of best-selling author Robert Ludlum's series to the screen... The Bourne Identity Following the smash worldwide success of 2002's The Bourne Identity, Universal Pictures brings the second installment of best-selling author Robert Ludlum's series to the screen with Matt Damon returning as trained assassin Jason Bourne in The Bourne Supremacy. The Bourne Supremacy re-enters the shadowy world of expert assassin Bourne (Damon), who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life. The stakes are now even higher for the agent as he coolly maneuvers through the dangerous waters of international espionage--replete with CIA plots, turncoat agents and ever-shifting covert alliances--all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and answers to his own fragmented past. Compelling use of exotic worldwide locations and the muscular cinematic edge brought by vanguard director Paul Greengrass (writer/director of Bloody Sunday) maintain the aggressive style and fresh, non-traditional perspective established in The Bourne Identity: The Bourne Supremacy is the latest entry in a refreshingly new breed of that time-honored genre, the espionage thriller. The Bourne Supremacy is produced by Frank Marshall, Patrick Crowley and Paul L. Sandberg; and directed by Paul Greengrass from a screenplay by Tony Gilroy (The Bourne Identity), based on Ludlum's book of the same name. [More]

A huge leap of faith is required to connect, and many plot details appear to have not been properly thought through.

Beth Accomando

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.

Joe Lozito

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.

Eric Melin

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.

3.5/4

Peter T. Chattaway

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.

Uri Lessing

At times, it’s a bit too much like watching the Zapruder film, but... it keeps the audience sharp by forcing them to search for clues and stay focused on the action.

Yet another of the all reason-defying examples of sequels that are as good as if not better than their earlier films.

Stuart Klawans

Tries to top the original by offering two car chases; but they both chop space into blurry, discontinuous fragments...As with the car chases, so with The Bourne Supremacy.

Damon makes Bourne a consistent, driven, intelligent, and yet vulnerable hero. It's too bad Academy voters will fail to notice his fantastic performance.

A first-rate thriller that plays out with the pluck and style of the best James Bond films.
