Grab on...is a bumpy ride

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2004)

I went to see The Bourne Supremacy yesterday, Sunday July 25 at 5:20pm for $6.50. Theater was packed. I had seat very near the screen. I said to myself - I guess I have to put on my seat belt and go for a ride.
Within a few minutes the search for Bourne began. Amazing editing. Yes, you may say there is a little too much car chase in some places but these sequences were visually impressive.
The constant camera movement give the film a fast pace. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Even when the action slows down, camera continues to move to keep up with the suspense and tension of the film.
Some people don't like this constant movement on close up but there you have N.Y.P.D. BLUE, C.S.I., LAW AND ORDER, WEST WING, and the list goes on. When it comes to film language and how camera is used, well, welcome to film 101. Just like Robert Rodriguez would say "move your camera a lot". Check commentaries of El Mariachi and Spy Kids. You just might learn a few tricks.

I enjoyed the film very much. Even sitting at the front of the screen. This is a good part two. You should give it a try. You have not seen the first one? Rent it and then go see the second part.
Cut, print, that's a rap.
