There's a reason the Bourne movies are attracting comparisons to the Bond movies though what seems to interest people more are the differences. As the bloated Bond films give you an oily Hally Berry, Lazer watches and an invisible Aston Martin - The Bourne Supremacy gives you a hysterical sobbing Julia Stiles, a roled up newspaper and a burnt out taxi in some debunked communist state. It's hardly glamourous but it's brutally effective and far more thrilling.
While anyone who's not a shady CIA spy would sound ridiculous calling it 'realistic' the average joe can still find intense satisfaction in the films logicality. What happens when two men are trained to the very peak of physical strength and have mastered completely a devistating martial art? They fight like school boys, that's what, each one's ability cancelling out the other's and they scuffle around an apartment desperatley trying to get the other into some sort of strangle hold, this is where the aforementioned rolled up magazine comes in.

It's also refreshing to see a film pretty much devoid of a Hollywood Love interest, Bourne's previous squeeze Marie is put out of the picture early on and when you think he's about to subject Julia Stiles to a steamy case of Stockholm syndrome, Bourne interrogates her to a point of sheer terror. The closest Bourne comes to any kind of affection is towards Pamela Landy, the very woman who is chasing him.

Acting is uniformly superb, new cast members like Joan Allen and Karl Urban fit right in to this kind of work and returning characters show no sign of getting stale, Brain Cox in particular is a real joy to watch but that's something you come to expect from one of the best actors around.

A brisk, engrossing and intelligent thriller, The Bourne Supremacy stars Matt Damon as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne, pulled back into the spy game when a Russian killer (Karl Urban) tracks him down in India. Fleeing the haven he's found with girlfriend Marie (Franka Potente), Bourne sprints and scraps his way around Europe, trying to discover why the CIA is out to get him. Meanwhile, Joan Allen's hard-nosed government spook uncovers the secrets of agency-within-the-agency Treadstone and butts heads with shady veteran Brian Cox...

As with franchise-starter The Bourne Identity (which belied bad buzz to become a big hit), this is a studio production with an indie sensibility. It is not overly complex, but neither is it patronising in the manner of many mainstream movies which emphasise every plot point to exhaustion. Paul Greengrass - the British director behind Bloody Sunday - treats the audience with respect, while the action is lent immediacy by his preference for in-your-face handheld camera work (the air is always heavy with the suggestion of violence).

"DAMON IS ONE HELL OF AN ACTION HERO"

And Damon is one hell of an action hero. He does a lot with very little, imbuing his limited dialogue with both rage and sorrow, looking harder and more haunted as the picture progresses. The bloody, brutal magazine fight (you'll see) is as original as the first film's painful pen battle, but even the more outrageous action is invested with an unusual degree of realism (when you're shot, it hurts; when you fall, you limp).

The driving score by John Powell is expertly mixed with impressively ear-pounding sound effects; issues of moral choice and responsibility are examined; and Tony Gilroy's script gives Cox a particularly pertinent political speech. In all, plenty of reasons to hope for Bourne again.

Brand spanking new, in the wrapper, paid less than a tenner, its twenty pounds in the shops. What can I say!

A good story line a must watch dvd make sure you watch all the others cant wait to see the next in the series

This action film is one of the best. I love everything single thing in it; cast, scenario etc...Although it's the sequel to first Bourne Identity, it has been intelligently and realistically cast...Bravo !

Typical 2nd/middle film: gets the story from one place to another efficiently but a very linear plot and not too many surprises.

I bought this film as I love action films. I bought all 3 in the series (identity and ultimatum). This film was excellent it was full of action from the start and I would definately recommend it to anyone who likes Matt Damon or loves Action, Action, Action!

Jason Bourne thought that he had escaped his past, living a quiet life with his girlfriend Marie. But following a failed assassination attempt he's back taking the fight to the 'unknown' enemy. Now no-one is safe as Jason follows the trail to those that want him dead.

Ultimate is definitely the word. Jason Bourne has reinvigorated the action genre, and set the standard for all Hollywood blockbusters. Each Title tells you exactly what you are getting, and most of it will be delivered to your ears and retinas through the medium of Bourne kicking loads of ass, be it in India, France, New York, or anywhere across the globe.

What makes Bourne so great though, is that unlike most fodder that Hollywood usually churns out, the high octane action here actually means something: He regrets his past, and he doesn't wreck havoc unless he has to. Bourne is a tortured soul, trying to find answers. The trilogy of films sees him come to terms with himself, then confront his enemies (usually with something he found lying around in their house), and the demons within himself, whilst the CIA (amongst many others) try to stop him for good.

The Series goes well beyond what is typical of the action genre to deliver a story with a brain, that has a coherent narrative, and a grounded main character. It's a darker and a grittier than anything that has come before it, and Casino Royale is a wonderful example of its already huge influence. Bourne has redefined action cinema, with his fistfights and his car chases. The presence of the man who could not remember his past will be felt long into the future on our cinema screens.

This film is almost everything we've come to expect from the Bourne series. It's fast, exciting and has lots of twists and turns and action.

However, I thought the director had got a bit carried away with the 'wobbly camera' viewpoint and for me this distracted from the enjoyment of the film.

However, I'd still recommend this to anyone who's a fan of action films.

Plot summary:

During an assassination attempt on Jason Bourne’s (Matt Damon) girlfriend, Marie (Franka Potente) is killed.

Jason wants revenge.


Nice ‘extras’ on the DVD, for those who want the complete trilogy, checkout ‘The Ultimate Bourne Collection’ Boxset

I have never seen this film before but have seen the prequel and really fancied seeing the next one. I thought it was a really good film, I look forward to the next.

After watching the 3rd in the series at the cinema I decided that I needed to get the other 2 films to catch up on the whole thing.
An extreemly good film that I am very glad I brought.

This is the second part of a trilogy and explodes into action from the start, setting up the storyline of the film and it's conclusion in Ultimatum. Matt Damon is at his best as Bourne. You just keep thinking, is he going to remember? Must see film, must see trilogy. Best films that have been out in years.

The Bourne Supremacy is a serviceable thriller - no more, no less. This may come as a disappointment to those anticipating something on the same level as the surprise hit 2002 movie, The Bourne Identity. Sadly, the cinematic second installment of Robert Ludlum's trilogy falls short of its predecessor in almost every area, except perhaps acting. There's nothing wrong with any of the performances in this movie; it's just that the actors aren't as important as they were two years ago. Action has moved to the fore, shouldering aside plot and character development in order to maintain the frantic pace that director Paul Greengrass believes is necessary to retain his audience's attention.

The Bourne Supremacy opens two years after The Bourne Identity closed, with Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) having settled down with his girlfriend, Marie (Franka Potente, of Run Lola Run fame). Now, it appears someone with the worst of intentions has found them. Not only is a killer (Karl Urban) dispatched remove Bourne, but he is framed for the murder of a CIA agent in Berlin. This brings the agency back into the picture. The "find Bourne" team is led by Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) and Bourne's old boss, Ward Abbott (Brian Cox). Thinking that the CIA is behind the attempt on his life, Bourne decides that the most appropriate response is to track down a few old acquaintances and remove them forever from the picture, thus fulfilling the promise he made near the end of The Bourne Identity.

At its heart, The Bourne Supremacy is a revenge picture. There's nothing more subtle or deeper going on here, although there is a secondary plot about a group of Russians. Character development is perfunctory. We learn a few more things about Bourne's past, and he shows signs of a conscience. However, he was more interesting in the last film, when he was foundering to discover who he was. This time around, Bourne is just a relentless killer, at least until the final 30 minutes, when he displays more compassion than we expect (or, in some ways, prefer).

After the initial 15 minutes of exposition, The Bourne Supremacy unfolds as a series of long chase and fight sequences. Some of these are more compelling than others. The final chase, in particular, is involving. Coming as late in the movie as it does, there's a sense that it will lead to a resolution (rather than the usual "oops, I lost him"). There are plenty of instances of hand-to-hand combat, and that's where the choice of Greengrass (Bloody Sunday) becomes questionable. The director of The Bourne Identity, Doug Liman, was able to present the fight scenes in a clear, no-frills fashion. In The Bourne Supremacy, there are so many cuts and edits that the fights devolve into an incoherent mess. It's better not to try to follow them when they're going on - just wait until they're over to see who's left standing.

On a number of levels, The Bourne Supremacy isn't as satisfying as The Bourne Identity. The culmination of Bourne's revenge spree against the agency, while it accomplishes the task, doesn't offer a good sense of closure. And the fact that Bourne spends most of the movie on his own eliminates the nice give-and-take between Bourne and Marie that helped make The Bourne Identity better than a generic espionage flick. Not having read Ludlum's novel, I can't assess whether the problem is in the source material or in Tony Gilroy's adaptation, but The Bourne Supremacy is less intelligent than its predecessor.

In

A good film, although personally I prefered the Bourne Identity. Great action though and another superb car chase. lacks the romantic element of the first film. However, don't buy this DVD from coolstuff direct cos they'll hammer you on postage and never reply to emails or phone calls.

Absolutely superb! Matt Damon (Bourne) at his best. Superbly Directed by Paul Greengrass. A truly supreme sequel to "The Bourne Identity". Jason Bourne is gradually getting closer to finally discovering his true identity, or is he. This chain of events leads deeper and deeper into a scenario that seems never ending for Bourne. Some great new characters and new twists in the tale are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole of this picture. The DVD quality is 10/10 with some great extra features. This is a highly recommended release from Universal. I can not fault this in any way. Even the box looks great. Buy this and thank me afterwards. Patrick Duffy.

The Bourne Supremacy
Dir: Paul Greengrass
Cast: Matt Damon, Brian Cox, Joan Allen
As a huge of fan of the first movie I was looking forward to seeing this film immensely and was not disappointed. This is a movie which truly deserves the tag edge-of-your-seat. I needed a stiff drink afterwards; the plot relentlessly twists and turns in ever tightening circles before springing off in another direction. Edgy, tense and utterly captivating, I highly recommend this film.
Like the first, it takes the action/thriller/espionage genre and turns it on its head. Here we have an amnesiac killing machine with a conscience. He knows he was a monster but has no wish to return to that life. Unfortunately, he has no choice when...but ah, that'd be telling.
Realistic and believable, The Bourne Supremacy is high-class popcorn, with soul, energy and style. It does not glamourise the action or shirk from the seedy sides of the business. Instead it shows a bleak world of constant paranoia, motorways, grey hotel-rooms and mistrust. Anchored by the solid performance of Matt Damon, ably supported by the wonderful Franke Potente, the irascible Brian Cox and the sultry Joan Allen, this is a film of subtly and depth.
Added to this is the camera work, which is often handheld and makes the film organic, grainy and believable. It recalls films such as Ronin in style, sense and substance. Anyone who saw the quite simply astounding Bloody Sunday or Omagh knows how powerful director Paul Greengrass' work is and he does not fall short on this occasion.
The only complaint is the lack of significant emotional dialogue. Although it is transfixing to see the action unfold as Damon flits from one city and task to the next, he at times seems a detached and coldy unreachable figure. This is intentional but you yearn for Damon to be given some juicy lines to exhibit the wonderful acting talent shown in the likes of The Talented Mr Ripley and Good Will Hunting. This would have been remedied by the presence of Marie, as the emotional foil and outlet for Bourne's inner turmoul, but she is absent for much of the movie. This allows Bourne the freedom to move quickly without baggage but does leave conversation at a minimum.
In any case, as a spectacle (car chases, stunts and more car chases) and as a sensitive, thoughtful piece on international politics and skulduggery it is quite fantastically entertaining stuff.
