Fantastic fast-paced mystery thriller!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2004)

From the opening scene of a blurred, rain drenched night, seen through a car's windshield, Supremacy grasped my attention. As a huge fan of the first BI, I had no doubts of a superb follow-up. I felt the hand-held use of the camera captured the real emotion of Bourne's quick responses, despite being a bit queasy on the senses, (it helped to look off screen every now and then). This cinematography style served to create more mystery and gave the effect of 'less is more', especially when introducing the Russian assassin (Karl Urban!). This style is similar to some of the more scary X-Files. The plot is intriguing and the Damon's struggle against all odds creates a great protagonist. You are cheering for him and wondering how he is going to get out of his next predicament. The fate of Marie (Franka Potente) leaves doubts that may work well into a 3rd installment of the series. The pace, the action, the extreme car chase, the mystery and clues all weave together to create a spellbinding, entertaining movie. In fact, I couldn't believe when it ended as it had the feel of the LOTR's Two Towers, knowing that more great narrative is just around the corner. I can't wait to go see it again!! I highly recommend this film to action lovers!
