Among The Best Spy Movies Made

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2019)

24 July 2004. The Bourne Supremacy sets a distinct and clearly new standard for spy, espionage movies...Matt Damon plays a human, ordinary but extraordinary intelligence agent. Unlike James Bond or most of the past characterizations of espionage agents, Damon has been given a great script that doesn't rely on super gadgets...but real intelligence. This fast-paced movie is brimming with thrills, mysterious, drama, and action as well as the tense emotional, human elements that made A Spy Who Came In From the Cold and The Three Days of Condor so good. Even The Ipcress Files. While the plot in a few places might be predictable to some, such minor disturbances cannot significantly blemish this classic storytelling of a very human intelligence experience. Joan Allen easily holds her own and Julia Stiles does wonderfully in her small part. Nine out of Ten Stars.
