Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Top CriticThe movie pulses forward relentlessly, and the tension never slackens.
07/23/04
It's good enough to make a third Bourne movie a welcome possibility.
07/22/04
Top CriticSomebody needs to tell filmmakers that holding a camera by hand and shaking it around is not artistic. It looks like The Bourne Witch Project.
07/22/04
In the wake of 9/11, this globe-trotting post-cold-war melodrama full of standard cloak-and-dagger intrigue has the reassuring aroma of a home-cooked meal served while riding the world's smoothest roller coaster.
07/22/04
Top CriticFrom top to bottom, from the action parts to the talky bits, The Bourne Supremacy is a movie that absolutely flies by with nary an unnecessary breath.
07/22/04
Spy sequel has serious kick thanks to Tony Gilroy's black-coffee script and Paul Greengrass's two-fisted direction.
07/22/04
Offers the double agents and delicious espionage you expect from a CIA thriller, but without becoming bloated and ridiculous like 90 percent of action films made today.
07/22/04
A kind of rehash of the fast parts in the first movie. It's not totally satisfying, but it's fun while it lasts.
07/22/04
Top-drawer genre filmmaking -- an intense, intelligent, exciting, impeccable spy thriller.
07/22/04
... delivers the expected adrenaline-driven thrills with a fresh eye and a refreshing attitude...
07/22/04
Despite the high speed car chases and the gleaming high-tech weaponry, 'The Bourne Supremacy' is empty of any lasting impressions.
07/22/04
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
Basically you have The Fugitive with CIA agents moving through an entire plot that could be written on a napkin, but it moves like a thunderbolt riding a cheetah.
07/22/04
The primary pleasure is just the fun of seeing smart people outsmarted.
07/22/04
The Bourne Supremacy” is an exciting, finely crafted action thriller with the accent on “thrill.”
07/22/04
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
Matt Damon is re-bourne as a compelling action figure
07/22/04
Bourne Supremacy's tag line, "They Should Have Left Him Alone" is so completely apropos for this particularly puzzling sequel.
07/22/04
[F]antastic, a whiz-bang follow-up that far surpasses the original as it breathlessly zigs and zags all over the globe.
