Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2009)

If you are intrigue with the Bourne series as millions of others, this follow-up is not to be missed. The story is called " The Bourne Supremacy." Jason and his girl Marie (Franka Potente) are hiding peacefully from the CIA and the infamous 'Treadstone' project which originally trained and left him emotionally scarred. Unfortunately, the company has returned to permanently remove him from its list of operatives and blame him for a secret cover-up begun by Ward Abbott (Brian Cox). To insure his death, Abbott uses an experienced Russian Assassin called Kirill (Karl Urban). Believing he has killed Bourne, Kirill informs his superiors of success. Instead he mistakenly murdered Marie, which infuriates Bourne and causes him to launch a most volcanic response. Realizing he is marked for death by the C.I.A. he uses his considerable experience and soon tracks down the woman in charge. Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) is soon in the cross-hairs of Bourne's rifle and wants an explanation. She too is unaware of what is taking place within her agency, but seek to capture Bourne to answer conflicting questions. At the same time, the agency, Abbotts' men and hundreds of police are seeking to kill him. The result is perhaps the most dramatic, exciting and certainly the most action-packed film of all. What can only be described as a fast paced search and destroy spy thriller on steroids is the essence of this movie. Highly charged and fully packed with speedy car chases, physical confrontations and cat and mouse intrigue, this film leaves little to be disappointed with. Added to it are emotional segments which reveal Bourne's nightmarish memories and his quest to learn who and what he has become. Easilly recommended to anyone seeking an exciting sequel to his previous film. ****
