Is this real?

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2010)

Bourne Supremacy is one of my all time favorite action thriller movies. I had not expected that, I had supposed that it is just another action thriller, watch and enjoy, no more, but it was beyond great. The direction is not only very stylish, but sterile that makes the movie peculiar in a good way. The editing and camera usage are peculiar too, despite some people seriously complain about it, especially when it comes the car chase scenes. In the movie, there is not any cliché also, it shows that the director is a 'conscious' director, I watched some of his interviews and comments on the film and extremely impressed. The fight scene which takes place in Munich is very realistic and deliberately directed. I learned that the explosion was real that's why it was fresh and amazing. The movie is very consistent on all counts or should I say solid? As for clichés, Bourne does not make love with the women who he meets which is a revolution in action thriller movies. Women don't fall in love with him or he does not allure women. There is a scene that takes place in a railway station, it recalls The Jackal, this scene was impressive, it was jaw dropping and pretty stark. Karl Urban's character is somehow different from other usual villains, realistic? And yes, the car chase. One of the greatest car chases of all time. Some people seriously complain about the shaky camera in such scenes, but it was not annoying at all to me, if you say Transformers, yes it was, but I loved this one. Some shots are extremely short, shaky camera, but brilliant. Also this is one of the longest car chases ever made like Ronin. Bourne Supremacy is my favorite movie in the series by far.
