Even better than the first

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2005)

While I highly enjoyed the Bourne Identity, I felt the plot was too contrived. One might be fairly hesitant to see the Bourne Supremacy because the trailer seems to give it all away, but it doesn't. With a twist at the very beginning, this film gives us a more in-depth look at the man/boy/person who is Jason Bourne.
This film has absolutely no relation to the novel, which is unfortunately a waste of space. While the plot is interesting, the style of writing makes every page feel as if it's make of lead.
Luckily, the film's plot is much simpler and the director focuses instead on the motivations of the characters. While this sequel may not be as "stylish" as the previous, it's a great sequel that helps move the (?) trilogy (?) forward ... I'm looking forward to the next.
