'the moment you entered her life she was dead'

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2008)

Certainly different from its predecessor, Supremacy puts its emphasis on political intrigue and espionage rather than personal matters... most of the time. The agency here is not entirely bad anymore. Treadstone is dismantled but its shadows still hanging heavily. This installment is not as even as the first one. There are a couple of really emotional scenes, showing loss, anger, and redemption and they rival anything from the first movie. Then there are suspiciously long stretches devoid of emotion. The action too gets a tad lower mark. The beginnings of mad cameraman are already evident, fast cuts, crazy angles, dark and noisy action... the style, which was further 'perfected' in the third film. JB has no clear-cut friends here, acting alone, and more methodically than ever. The tale here is a bit grimmer, too. The score now has a central theme. Firstly introduced in Goa scenes, its slower version comes back from time to time. I liked it.
