More of the same

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2004)

In the sequel "The Bourne Supremacy", amnesiac secret agent and assassination target Jason Bourne (Damon) comes out of hiding in India and travels around Europe with the CIA hot on his trail as he attempts to find out why people are trying to kill him and complete the puzzle of his failed memory. Cut from the same cloth as the parent "The Bourne Identity", this flick is bits and pieces of a thin story squeezed between protracted periods of busyness which is long on mediocre action and short on human drama. Worthy as a sequel but not so worthy as a stand-alone action drama, TBS simply moves the Bourne story one quantum leap forward in return for 110 minutes of your life and the cost of a rental. (B-)
