dull, dull, dull

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2004)

Another waste of a Saturday evening. Whilst the Bourne Identity was a so-so thriller with good chase sequences, the Bourne Supremacy is anything but. The rather un-engaging storyline has our hero trying once more to find out who he is and escape the murderous intentions of the CIA and others. Despite a good premise and a great character in Bourne, the movie never takes off and leaves its characters flat. Combine this with the overly long car chases edited to induce an epileptic fit with too much shaky camera work, and you have a film that doesn't know what to do. the plot meanders predictibly along until the credits appear leaving the 'story' open for the inevitable and probably even more dull third movie. One to avoid for anyone who likes to be engaged by plot.
