Needless to say, the viewers also get to drink in some awesome landscape, particularly the snowy, wintry Moscow. Where Supremacy differs from Identity is that questions do get answered here eventually. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media 12/28/2010

Second in trilogy is a smooth but violent thriller. Go to Full Review Time Out 02/09/2006
[Director] Greengrass proves himself equally adept at action, building on the edginess of Doug Liman's original with a feverish handheld camera and frenetic editing. Go to Full Review Film Companion Staff Film Companion 10/27/2020
The sophisticated espionage series that reinvented onscreen action gave us a new, more rooted kind of spy thriller, far removed from the Bond school of blockbuster, but no less exhilarating. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 09/29/2020

The flashy, speedy editing still gets in the way of enjoying the hand-to-hand choreography of lurching punches or flitting knives. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 05/07/2020

Kevin P @RT55971421 1d A messy, but exciting action-packed sequel that continues Jason Bourne's story. It's very entertaining and well-acted. But there is a LOT more shaky cam and fast editing this time around. It's constant and very distracting. Unfortunately, Marie is killed off very early in the movie. I'd argue that this death would've been more effective if it happened halfway through the story. For better or worse, the film's presentation is very influential for modern action flicks (shaky cam, fast editing, gray muted color palette, stock background music, and white location title cards). There are so many quick cuts during many action scenes that it's often disorienting and hard to tell what's going on. For a while, Jason Bourne is on his own with few people to bounce off on for dialogue. The new CIA antagonist is solid and the actress has a great commanding delivery. The film has a thinner story and characterization than the first one. But it's still a fairly entertaining and well-acted action film.

See more Guillermo A @Guillermo.Almeida Jan 8 Perfect sequel, the plot continues to grow, the action is perfect (but weak in the car scenes). See more M B @Timbero Oct 14 Excellent and well written action movie with a great cast. More mature than the original a bit too much shakey cam on fights though. See more Frank B @RT28767711 Sep 3 This is one of the best action movies to be on the screen. It has action, constant suspense, and a man who also lives by his wits. And the cast makes this movie work on every level. See more Ray C @RT17651982 Aug 28 Delivering plenty more Bourne excitement. Matt Damon continues to shine and the supporting cast are good too. It's my least favorite of the original trilogy but there's still plenty to love here. See more Read all reviews
