Better than the original

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2004)

The Bourne Supremacy is an exciting thrill ride that manages to surpass the original in quality and entertainment value. Jason Bourne has to come out of hiding to find out who is trying to kill him and why. The CIA suspects Bourne of murdering two of their agents. This is a great cat and mouse espionage thriller that ranks up there with From Russia With Love (sorry Goldfinger fans, but that was the best Connery Bond film). Julia Stiles also returns as Nicki and has a little bit more to do this time, even though it is still a glorified cameo. For the third Bourne movie, I would like to see Stiles with Matt Damon as possibly a love interest. It would be a good change of pace for her who is known for teenage dramas and comedies to play more adult roles. Matt Damon is excellent as Jason Bourne and I would like to see him again in this role. Joan Allen is also good as the CIA boss obsessed with Bourne's capture. This is edge of your seat movie, earning a 9/10.
