Movie Review
The Bourne Supremacy
of 5

This spy sequel has government assassin Jason Bourne brought out of hiding when he set up as the killer in a CIA information raid.

Supremacy has all the action and corrupt motives of the first film. One of the things I like most about this series is that both films are just a glimpse of Jason Bourne. He still is unsure of who he is and what he's done in the past. He doesn't know if he was a good guy or bad guy but he is struggling to be a good guy now.

Supremacy lacks much of the heart that was in the first film, but packs a wallop in a few action scenes. Highlighted by a tremendous car chase. Relief director Greengrass, (Doug Linman was at the helm of the first film) seems to his way around celluloid but the rapid-fire editing of the action scenes seem more like he's covering up something than he is trying to pack a creative action punch.

The heart I say is lacking is largely due to the absence of a love interest and no identification of a family for Bourne. Through two films we still haven't learned anything all that substantive about Jason Bourne but that leave plenty of room for more summer releases—doesn't it.

Directed by Paul Greengrass.
