[Director] Greengrass proves himself equally adept at action, building on the edginess of Doug Liman’s original with a feverish handheld camera and frenetic editing.

Brainy, intelligent, emotional filmmaking that just happens to be in the thriller genre.

Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne brings new meaning to the word “spy.” A fine example of a sequel to surpass the original.
08/15/04
The Bourne Supremacy is something of a double rarity: an exciting, intelligent Hollywood thriller and a worthy sequel to boot.

You can't put a price on a film-maker who still believes stunts should be shot in the street and not the editing suite

It is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller.

Flashes of color and streaks of movement can make for a striking picture, but only if you can see what's taking place, not to mention if you care about who is in jeopardy.

Where it could have descended into a revenge drama, it settles for justice instead -- and not the kind that puts down one's enemies, but the kind that calls for confession, even reconciliation.

Stylish, full throttle, nobody's-pretending-this-is-art summer movie fun.

Supremacy is, minor quibbles aside, a worthy successor to The Bourne Identity.

At times, it’s a bit too much like watching the Zapruder film, but... it keeps the audience sharp by forcing them to search for clues and stay focused on the action.
07/25/05
Yet another of the all reason-defying examples of sequels that are as good as if not better than their earlier films.

Tries to top the original by offering two car chases; but they both chop space into blurry, discontinuous fragments...As with the car chases, so with The Bourne Supremacy.

'Un buen thriller, bien realizado y bien actuado que sirve para pasar un par de horas a gusto en la oscuridad de una sala de cine, pero no le pida más'
