The best action film of the decade

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2010)

The Bourne Supremacy in a few words blew me away. It's absolutely magnificent. I was worried because the first is so strong that the sequel may be disappointing. Not in any sense of the word. It's better than the first with a thick storyline, more suspense, new characters, and great action sequences. I knew the fate of one of the main characters (from Identity) before I saw this, and I didn't expect to see it until at least the third act. It happens in the first 20 minutes, which surprised me. That was the first sign that this was going to be a great, different film.
Matt Damon delivers another solid effort as Jason Bourne. He's so nonchalant in the role fits it to a tee. Joan Allen makes her first appearance in the Bourne franchise here as Pamela Landy. She's fierce, driven, and delivers a kick-arse performance. She's not given much to work with, but she overcomes that and stands smiling in the end.
Supremacy is a near-perfect action-thriller film. It's smart, especially for it's genre. There's many twists and turns, and great plot points with performances that deserve more than what they get. I only have one small complaint: there is an action sequence that lasts way to long and drags a bit. It's near the 90 minute mark and it's duration is around 10-15 minutes. It's well choreographed, but could've been cut in the editing room. Other than that, there's not much more you could ask for, and the last scene between Allen and Damon is nothing short of phenomenal; 9.5
