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.

| Oct 27, 2020

The flashy, speedy editing still gets in the way of enjoying the hand-to-hand choreography of lurching punches or flitting knives.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 29, 2020

Quite a forceful spy drama until author Robert Ludlum's usual formula kicks-in.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 7, 2019

Despite its grave themes (or perhaps because or them), The Bourne Supremacy is still supremely thrilling.

| Feb 7, 2018

The strengths are amazing, and it's pretty impressive how thoroughly and successfully the movie rewrote the vocabulary of action cinema.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 6, 2016

A minor step above the entertaining (yet underwhelming) The Bourne Identity...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 12, 2012

Second in trilogy is a smooth but violent thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

More than adequately serves as a no-nonsense escapist action thriller.

| Original Score: B | Dec 11, 2010

As Bourne seeks to uncover his past and bury those who would cross him, director Paul Greengrass masterfully blends sight, sound and silence to do much more than entertain: This film leaves a deep psychological imprint.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 25, 2010

While not as engaging as "The Bourne Identity," the sequel fills a void in the undernourished spy movie genre.

What more could you ask for in a sequel?

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 29, 2009

Um filme de espiões para adultos.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 25, 2009

A huge leap of faith is required to connect, and many plot details appear to have not been properly thought through.

| Oct 18, 2008

It is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2007

By the end of the film, we've more or less given up trying to figure out how the characters are making their deductions; we just have to take it on faith that somehow everyone knows to go to a specific address in Moscow.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2007

A thriller with a brain, a grown up film for grown ups

Full Review | Original Score: 85/100 | Oct 30, 2006

Flashes of color and streaks of movement can make for a striking picture, but only if you can see what's taking place, not to mention if you care about who is in jeopardy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 29, 2006

Where it could have descended into a revenge drama, it settles for justice instead -- and not the kind that puts down one's enemies, but the kind that calls for confession, even reconciliation.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 8, 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.
