Review
Essentially a Spy-vs-Spy movie, packed with thrills an spills of action and suspense. The Bourne Supremacy kicks off where the first movie finished, and soon throws you back into the mindset of the paranoid but deadly Jason Bourne.

As with the first movie (The Bourne Identity) the action sequences and plot are strung together in an intelligent way, making you believe that the special-opps spies are smarter than smart, highly trained individuals, rather than the mindless gun slinging action hero’s of old.

The film is fast paced, keeps you on the edge of your seat with suspense, and has a enough twists and turns throughout to keep you well entertained. Matt Damon proves once again that he is a versatile top class actor, and Director Paul Greengrass proves that sequels can be as good as the original.

If I had one complaint to make, it would be the shaky camera work that seems to be coming far to common place in action movies of late. A little shake now and again can compliment the aesthetic feel to an action sequence, but to much can leave you with that sick to the stomach ‘Blair Witch’ feeling. Please everyone, lets not get lazy and just shake the camera violently for effect.

Fans of The Bourne Identity should definitely enjoy The Bourne Supremacy equally as much, just don’t expect anything more than that.
