Someone is watching...

I saw the Bourne Supremacy at a Washington, DC premiere last night. The movie is entertaining with a tight plot line that moves along a good clip. Sure, it diverges from the book, but what movie doesn't? Matt Damon puts in another good performance as Bourne, still looking over his shoulder and trying to sort out his nightmares. When the past visits his remote corner of the world, he sets off to chase the ghosts. The movie takes him through locations in India, Germany, Italy, Russia, and the US. The action scenes are shot in a gritty, chaotic manner, which is a refreshing change from the choreographed high wire ballets that are all too common these days.
Once again, common cars star in the chases. Julia Stiles' character is a little more developed in the second movie, but still lacks dimensionality.
