2 years after he lost his memory Jason Bourne and his girlfriend Marie are hiding in remote India but when Bourne get framed for a double murder CIA agent Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) tasked to find Bourne. But when he comes out of hiding it all starts to go wrong.
The second of the Bourne Movies, Matt Damon and some of the cast from the first (The Bourne Identity) bring us another on the edge of the seat action thriller. Damon's performance was just as brilliant but this time he could really develop the character because this time we know who Bourne is. He shows us the other side of Bourne the side that does not what violence or to be a killer but releases that thats what he has to do to survive. This time Brain Cox has a bigger role still as Ward Abbott the overseer of now disbanded Treadstone who's dirty past comes back to haunt him and he portrays his character's slow decay so brilliantly.
The Bourne Supremacy brings everything you want for a sequel to Identity. It has a great plot, stunning action and one clever ex-assassin who has a inventive use go a magazine. The only problem is that it does not quite has the same surprise and mystery that the first one did which means that it is not quite as good. That does not mean I am saying that it is a bad film in no means is it a bad film it just does not have that spark that Identity had. I only think of one area that it is better and that is it has much more and better sub-plots giving it much more depth.
The Bourne Supremacy was directed well by Greengrass who I must say is the master of suspense with United 93 this and now Captain Phillips.
Supremacy is a great credit to all the Bourne film great plot, directing and all the action you want, the only thing is its just not as good and Identity which might let you down a bit but not too much.
I Killed Him?-76/100
