If you like action movies but wish they were more realistic, you really should watch this movie.

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2006)

A fantastic movie. It does for James Bond what Unbreakable does for Superman. Where the Bond movies focus on spectacular yet entirely unrealistic action sequences, the Bourne movies focus on Bourne, as they should. And Bourne is a super agent either, he's a normal human being who gets hurt and even cries. The action sequences aren't blown out of proportion, they're realistic and no bigger that they would be in real life.
You might think that this would take away the thrill that can be had from action movie but it really doesn't. If anything, it enhances it. Once we know that Bourne is just a man, we really really feel like it's something when he does the things he does. He uses his brain and his abilities to solve problems, and when cornered he lashes out like a trapped animal. These are not the actions of a cool, calm action hero, but a man desperate to get out of the bad situation he has ended up in. The action sequences are close, intense and real. In other action films a car swerves to avoid another and you might be mildly intrigued, but in The Bourne Supremacy you feel like you're in the car, and if Bourne dies, you die.
So there are definitely a lot of good things I could say about this movie, which is intelligent, exciting and engaging, and very few bad things (seriously, nothing comes to mind). Simply, this is one of the best films I've seen.
