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

Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Top CriticBrainy, intelligent, emotional filmmaking that just happens to be in the thriller genre.
09/19/04
Exciting, emotionally layered and brimming with invention.
08/13/04
Top CriticA brisk, engrossing and intelligent thriller.
08/10/04
Top CriticThe Bourne Supremacy is something of a double rarity: an exciting, intelligent Hollywood thriller and a worthy sequel to boot.
08/14/04
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
[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.
02/09/06
Top CriticIt is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller.
08/03/07
Improves on the original by leaps and bounds.
03/05/05
Exhausting but thrilling at the same time.
07/23/04
Does what it promises -- gives great tense drama and action. However, jerky camera work is somewhat annoying.
07/29/04
Most of Supremacy is an overedited headache that hardly makes up in frayed nerves what the visuals lack in clarity.
07/20/04
'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'
01/24/05
... delivers the expected adrenaline-driven thrills with a fresh eye and a refreshing attitude...
07/22/04
Energetic, edgy and intelligent, film is a worthy follow-up to its exceptional 2002 predecessor.
07/27/04
Eye-rattling visual chaos that many moviegoers will want to rate X, for Excedrin.
07/23/04
A sequel that, whatever its actual motivation, doesn't feel like a studio-mandated cash grab, but an organic continuation of the original, both in content and style.
07/22/04
Falls short of its predecessor in almost every area, except perhaps acting.
07/23/04
The movie is mostly a series of frenetic clashes, dubious near misses and car chases. It lacks the human interest and snowy splendor of the first movie.
07/23/04
On balance The Bourne Supremacy is an engaging thriller (if less engaging as a character drama), and, at least in comparison to its predecessor, it reigns supreme.
