Thanks to the top-notch cast, The Bourne Supremacy is a functional thriller.

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2010)

A former CIA hit-man (Matt Damon) fights to prove his innocence after being framed for the murder of two informants.
The spy franchise propelled itself into the 21st century with this second installment, which - despite Damon's necessarily blank performance - benefits from the immediacy of director Paul Greengrass's camera, several truly exhilarating set-pieces and the contrived employment of blue-chip acting talent. The film ranks 454th on Empire magazine's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. It received a positive critical and public reaction, and was followed by a 2007 sequel entitled The Bourne Ultimatum.
