Quick witty yippee

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2007)

In his second outing as the "Jimmy Bondish" Jason Bourne, Matt Damon is at it again this time as "Bourne on the run" in the Bourne Supremacy where he is elusive from capture even by the biggest modern organisation gathered to catch one man. This occurs particularly when standing and walking unseen among the crowd of commuters through any city and the film is excellently quick-paced and free of some silly overacting that most films in the modern movie world suffer from (well not entirely). The film also uses some short and fast paced clips to add to the excitement particularly when Bourne himself makes his getaway from Naples that takes him to Moscow after several journeys through various European cities to see some Neski girl when in the second occasion, he happens to bump into his would-be assailant. The car chase scenes in Moscow are excellent but may be lacking the earlier "Identity" with the exciting use of a Mini just like the 1968 Italian Job. However, the Russian cars were once part of the everyday British humour due to being old fashioned with doubtful build quality and reliability. Only the Lada (ex-Fiat)and Moskvich (ex-Opel) models made it on British soil and in a surprise getaway with a Moskvich lookalike car called a Volga with limit performance and lots of engine noise, it made sense that Jason Bourne would actually be driving it 0-60mph by tomorrow. When you think about these car comments I've made, then look no further than the dud Yoga car that I am aware was once marketed in the USA for that was a terrible old shed and I know someone once joked about his Yuga doing 0-60 mph in an hour. Well what more can I say. Apart from some slightly silly scenes at the later part of the film, I gave the film a rating of 8/10
