Just as smart and dynamic as The Bourne Identity, Jason Bourne should be considered James Bond with brains. While many spy movies get caught up in camp and gadgetry, the Bourne films use their wits and instincts to barrel you through one adventure ride to the next.
In this film, Bourne still hasn’t recovered from his amnesia, but he manages to remember all his combat training when necessary. Having a main character unaware of who he is and what he is capable of helps make the Bourne films enticing. We are just as clueless as our hero as to what is going on and what to expect.
Supremacy fills in a bit more on the background of the secret CIA program that trained Bourne. We also see more of his emotional side and the conflict he feels when confronting his enemies.
The movie is also very bold (explaining how bold would involve spoilers) and sets us up for a continuing trend of uncertainty. Another wowzer of a car chase and the stunt work is truly impressive. This is a must see action-thriller and an excellent companion piece to the original. I’m highly looking forward to the Bourne Ultimatum, due out Fall of 2007.
