[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.

Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Top CriticBrainy, intelligent, emotional filmmaking that just happens to be in the thriller genre.
09/19/04
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
The Bourne Supremacy is something of a double rarity: an exciting, intelligent Hollywood thriller and a worthy sequel to boot.
08/14/04
Exciting, emotionally layered and brimming with invention.
08/13/04
Top CriticYou can't put a price on a film-maker who still believes stunts should be shot in the street and not the editing suite
08/12/04
Top CriticA brisk, engrossing and intelligent thriller.

Um filme de espiões para adultos.
03/25/09
A huge leap of faith is required to connect, and many plot details appear to have not been properly thought through.
10/18/08
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.
08/03/07
By the end of the film, we've more or less given up trying to figure out how the characters are making their deductions; we just have to take it on faith that somehow everyone knows to go to a specific address in Moscow.
07/14/07
A thriller with a brain, a grown up film for grown ups
10/30/06
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.
09/29/06
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.
09/08/06
Stylish, full throttle, nobody's-pretending-this-is-art summer movie fun.
12/06/05
Top CriticSupremacy is, minor quibbles aside, a worthy successor to The Bourne Identity.
12/06/05
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
Polished, efficient.
05/03/05
Yet another of the all reason-defying examples of sequels that are as good as if not better than their earlier films.
