The Bourne Supremacy (2004) - Movie Review

The pace of these movies are fast. If you look away from the screen for a second you miss something. This movie doesn't disappoint. I love these movies. None of these movies have outdone any of the others. They have matched each other in every way.

Matt Damon reprises his role as Jason Bourne. Back again is Franka Potente as Marie; Brian Cox as Ward Abbott; and Julia Stiles as Nicky. New characters are Pamela Landy, played by Joan Allen, and Kirill, played by Karl Urban.

Two years after the first movie Jason Bourne is drawn out of hiding, well hiding in plain sight, because he is set-up as the fall guy. Because of the set-up Pamela Landy is set on Bourne's trail and she is relentless. Relentless until she figures out that Bourne had nothing to do with what went wrong with her operation.

The chase scenes are really what make this movie worth while. Those and the rest of the script. So I would have to say that from start to finish this is a great movie... just like the others.

Just like Identity I have some favorite scenes. And guess what? They are all action scenes.

The first is the scene where Jason and Marie are trying to get away from Kirill. Kirill is the one who has set Jason up that screwed up Pamela Landy's operation. Kirill goes to India to kill Jason, but he kills Marie instead.

The second scene I like is when Jason goes to Moscow to apologize to the daughter of the couple he killed in his first assignment. He was only supposed to kill Vladimir Neski and make it look like natural causes. However, Neski's wife arrives unexpectedly and Jason has to change his plans. He set it up to look like Neski was killed by his wife and then shot herself.

Another favorite scene is when Jason and Pamela have their final phone conversation. Pamela tells Jason what his real name is. This scene shows at least some familiarization or a friendship brewing between Pamela and Jason.

I love these movies.

I give this 10 stars out of 10.
