Bourne Again, 23 July 2004
Author: shadowycat from los angeles
After seeing Bourne Supremacy last night, I was thinking man, I really liked this, I should read the book.
Then I heard a radio review pointing out that the film takes little from the book, so if you read the books first, you might have a completely different take.
Joan Allen is fantastic as always. Julia Stiles is the only young actress today with the right degree of vulnerability and sophistication for her role. Matt Damon is Matt Damon.
This is a fast-paced ride around the world. I particularly enjoyed visiting the state of Goa in India, and the chase scenes around Berlin and Moscow have left me with more of an intimate knowledge of these cities than I could ever have imagined.
The film is an artful mixture of intellectual dialogue and gut-wrenching suspense. The only drawback was an excessive use of hand-held camera, I felt a little queasy and sometimes the camera is so shaky it left me unable to follow the action.
Bourne Supremacy should blow Catwoman out of the water (sorry Catwoman!)
This is #2 of a trilogy, isn't it? I'll be there with bells on for Bourne #3.
