One of the few franchises that gets it right!

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2004)

Fantastic tie in with all of the sub characters who survived the Borne Identity, this film puts you on the move fast with little time for rest. The cinematography done by Oliver Wood is astounding; keeping mostly to hand-held moving with the actor's holding the tempo of the film especially high. Matt Damon brings Jason Bourne back to life with a seamless transition from Identity to Supremacy. Unlike some films where the actors fail to hold their character, together Damon stays true. Stiles Cox and Allen put in fantastic performances, keeping their interactions tight with the same accuracy, proof of great direction from Paul Greengrass. The dialog delivered by the entire cast is very well timed with meticulous detail again staying true to Identity. Karl Urban is somewhat under used as a nemesis who could have given much more energy to his character if given the time to develop. Supremacy ran with a colder feel keeping the film a touch darker with a certain bitterness that underlies the entire film. Overall, this film is well done and for a sequel, this one matches very well to the first. Assuming they can stick to a working formula this franchise could run for quite some time.
