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

Second in trilogy is a smooth but violent thriller.

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

[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.

| Feb 9, 2006

Exciting, emotionally layered and brimming with invention.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2004

You can't put a price on a film-maker who still believes stunts should be shot in the street and not the editing suite

| Aug 12, 2004

A brisk, engrossing and intelligent thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2004

Of its kind, The Bourne Supremacy is incredibly skilled -- much more exciting than its predecessor.

Full Review | Aug 3, 2004

Another of those incoherent Robert Ludlum spy thrillers with more logistics than logic.

| Jul 29, 2004

Much like Bourne, the film is a lean, mean, killing machine, and the action, near constant, is frightfully good.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2004

What's most remarkable is that screenwriter Tony Gilroy (co-writer of the original) - again cribbing (very) loosely from Ludlum's bestseller of the same name - is able to make so many standard spy film cliches fresh and exciting.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 24, 2004

An entertaining, well-constructed spy story (though not as satisfying as the first film -- perhaps because it's not as simple).

| Jul 24, 2004

The movie is utterly synthetic.

| Jul 23, 2004

Good enough to make one have faith in certain things again, like spy movies, sequels and the charismatically low-key, quietly lethal movie-star charisma of Matt Damon.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2004

A tour-de-force of thriller filmmaking.

| Jul 23, 2004

Almost everything that made The Bourne Identity refreshing -- the wit, the irony, the suspense, the novelty of its premise -- is gone.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 23, 2004

The movie is mostly a series of frenetic clashes, dubious near misses and car chases. It lacks the human interest and snowy splendor of the first movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 23, 2004

The movie skillfully delivers a series of fights, stalkings, plottings and chases, punctuated by a little brooding.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 23, 2004

Just as thrilling, edgy and entertaining as the first installment.

| Jul 23, 2004

A terse, tight, impressively smart package.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 23, 2004

A solid cloak-and-dagger actioner.
