The Boring Supremacy

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2004)

Coming from someone who enjoyed the first film, and thought it was fresh and unique, I found the sequel to be a huge disappointment. The film opens with the main character and his girlfriend living in seclusion on a beautiful(albeit crowded) Caribbean beach destination. Struggling with the demons that haunt his mind, Bourne, after the murder of his lover, sets out to bring closure to his shattered life. Searching to find those who are trying to kill him, and are responsible for setting him up to be the fall guy, Bourne sets out to piece together images from his fragmented mind. By the time we get half way or so into the film, Bourne has narrowly escaped encounters with the authorities, too numerous to recount. I thought that the film had gotten to the ridiculous by the time our main character shows up in Moscow. It's at this point the movie is winding up, with a car chase that is best described as a mix of The Frech Connection + Ronin, to the tenth power. But as in all good movies, it end with our hero walking away to live another day. This movie is one best skipped. I hope they don't decide to make a third film.
