Editorial Review:
Good enough to suggest long-term franchise potential, The Bourne Supremacy is a thriller fans will appreciate for its well-crafted suspense, and for its triumph of competence over logic (or lack thereof). Picking up where The Bourne Identity left off, the action begins when CIA assassin and partial amnesiac Jason Bourne (a role reprised with efficient intensity by Matt Damon) is framed for a murder in Berlin, setting off a chain reaction of pursuits involving CIA handlers (led by Joan Allen and the duplicitous Brian Cox, with Julia Stiles returning from the previous film) and a shadowy Russian oil magnate. The fast-paced action hurtles from India to Berlin, Moscow, and Italy, and as he did with the critically acclaimed Bloody Sunday, director Paul Greengrass puts you right in the thick of it with split-second editing (too much of it, actually) and a knack for well-sustained tension. It doesn't all make sense, and bears little resemblance to Robert Ludlum's novel, but with Damon proving to be an appealingly unconventional action hero, there's plenty to look forward to. --Jeff Shannon

The Bourne Supremacy [HD DVD] Reviews:
SOLID FOLLOW UP TO THE ORIGINAL!
2008-08-25 - Jason Bourne is a welcome change from the normal action movie hero! This is a no nonsense, highly efficient killing machine! As sequels go this is really good and is just as entertaining as the original. I had no problems with the camera work as some reviewers have pointed out. It's a fast paced, action film with an intelligent story! The DVD transfer looks great and this film was followed by a sequel!

Drammamine required
2008-08-09 - I do not understand Paul Greengrass's choice of camera action. It is highly erratic. A dose of Dramamine is recommended before watching this movie. Perhaps it is a lack of the ability to actually plan a scene? Why plan when we can disguise the lack of scene planning with erratic camera movement????? It is hard to enjoy this movie, take in the scenes when the camera movement makes you sea sick.

They should have left him alone

This movie is loosely based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum (1927 to 2001). The plot also incorporates aspects of the Bourne novel "The Bourne Legacy" (2004) written by Eric Van Lustbader (born: 1946).

It is a sequel to 2002's "The Bourne Identity" (as is 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum").

This movie continues the story of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), an amnesiac and former CIA assassin, and his attempt to learn more of his past. This time the CIA what's to bring him in. Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), a CIA Deputy Director and Task Force Chief who is pursuing Bourne says this more forcefully:

"We're going to find this son of a b**ch and take him down. I'm not having Jason Bourne destroy any more of this agency."

Awesome fight scenes and breath-taking car chase scenes are two major highlights of this movie making it a state-of-the-art espionage thriller. This movie is more dialogue driven compared to the first one making it for me, actually better than the first movie.

Matt Damon as Jason Bourne effectively carries the entire movie. Kudos should also go to Joan Allen as Director Pamela Landy for her intriguing performance. I found the background music to be quite exhilarating.

The various action scenes employ shaky camera work making them sometimes difficult to follow. Some people may be put off by this but I found that this technique gave the movie a gritty, realistic, and edgy feel.

Total box office for this movie was about two hundred and eighty-eight million, surpassing that brought in by "The Bourne Identity" (about two hundred and fourteen million).

Finally, the DVD itself (the one released in 2004) is perfect in picture and sound quality. There are many extras including an alternate ending.

In conclusion, this movie effectively continues the plight of a new action hero named Jason Bourne!!!

Not Cool!
2008-07-21 - I bought this video to help me learn german, and the product details said that this movie has german for one of the languages and all it acutally has is french and spanish.

Matt IS Bourne again!
2008-07-14 - This film is really action packed as Jason again tries to find his identity.
The subconscious skill level with which he protects himself and outsmarts those they created him is fascinating and portrays what a human can do with proper training. While I could personally do without the level of violence used in the film it certainly is nowhere near the amount or gratuitous violence one would experience with a Quentin Tarantino film. I would recommend this film if you liked the first one... great sequel!
