Good, not great sequel

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2004)

"The Bourne Supremacy" is a very professional, and respectable follow-up to the 2002 hit "The Bourne Identity". That being said, it is not nearly as involving or interesting as the original film either.
Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne, and does an admirable job of playing the amnesiac CIA operative, that only wants to be left alone.
*****Spoilers***** The premise is simple. Bourne wants to live a quiet life, away from the CIA, he is implicated on a double murder, and he tries to clear his name.
Again, the story is good, but it feels as though it is rushed along, in order to bring the movie in under two hours. Chase and fight scenes are not as good (especially the camera work), not much more is actually learned about Bourne, and nothing about his girlfriend or his life in India.
Good movie to rent, but don't be upset if it's not in the store.
7 out of 10
