Good sequel, but flawed.

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2004)

Much like The Bourne Identity before it, this movie is a decent action movie with great locations, competent acting, and wonderful atmosphere. Very loosely based on the novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Supremacy skips much of the source material to deliver a trim and well-paced spy thriller. Since there is a third book, one might reasonably expect to see Matt Damon starring in The Bourne Ultimatum before long.
If anyone here has read the excellent Ludlum novels, you might be disappointed to find that many aspects of the character of Jason Bourne are completely absent from the movies. Still they both work in their own right as action films. My only real complaint with the movie is the shaky camera that others have mentioned. It really does make some of the action scenes totally incoherent. What ever happened to actually choreographing a fight or a chase scene?
As a side note, given the amount of screen time she gets, on wonders why Julia Stiles even signed on for this trilogy.
