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]

With a rash of movies about resentful operatives or foot soldiers who can't tell whom to fear more, the enemy or their own leaders, they may be telling us something

Bourne es un antihéroe, un hombre incómodo en su rol, un sicario amnésico atormentado por sus demonios.

(T)he best car chase since Bullitt (1968)...With constant tension, this is a thriller at its best.

Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne brings new meaning to the word “spy.” A fine example of a sequel to surpass the original.

Matt Damon again pulls off a great mix of inscrutability and vulnerability.

The Bourne Supremacy is something of a double rarity: an exciting, intelligent Hollywood thriller and a worthy sequel to boot.

Bourne himself hovers above mere physical threats, draining this action movie of any urgency.

You can't put a price on a film-maker who still believes stunts should be shot in the street and not the editing suite

The Bourne Supremacy is a sharp, intelligent thriller that expertly mixes international espionage with a revenge story.

Delivers as long as quibblers needing story, character and credibility can set aside their priorities.

If you enjoyed the “Bourne Identity” you’ll enjoy the “Bourne Supremacy” as much - just don’t expect much more than that.

On 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.
