Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Maybe even the great 007 could learn a thing or two from the new kid on the espionage-movie block.
08/04/04
Such an exhilarating thriller ... don't be surprised if you leave the movie sweaty and exhausted from the workout.
08/03/04
Of its kind, The Bourne Supremacy is incredibly skilled -- much more exciting than its predecessor.
08/03/04
The picture fires on all pistons.
08/03/04
Hand Paul Greengrass his walking papers ... and tell him to take his hand-held camera with him.
08/01/04
The acting was astounding, the plot was superb and the direction nailed it.

Falls flat on its counter-intelligent face...If I wanted to watch an Olympic steeplechase, I’d wait for the Athens Games.
07/30/04
[Although] less intriguing than it is skillful, the follow-up to the 2002 hit delivers its characters, thrills and action very efficiently.
07/29/04
Like Spider-Man 2, this film works in a very specific genre and seems intent on finding the layers underneath.
07/29/04
Does what it promises -- gives great tense drama and action. However, jerky camera work is somewhat annoying.
07/29/04
The movie culminates with a sloppily edited car chase that goes on for so long that I had to be reminded: Was Matt Damon playing Jason Bourne or Sheriff Buford T. Justice?
07/29/04
Another of those incoherent Robert Ludlum spy thrillers with more logistics than logic.
07/29/04
A cinematic page-turner.
07/29/04
The Bourne Supremacy offers cool thrills and explosive action.
07/29/04
Not a perfect film, but it provides enough excitement and intrigue to keep the popcorn crowds well entertained and glued to their seats for future Bourne adventures.
07/29/04
In a summer drenched in CGI-effect extravaganzas, it's easy to forgive The Bourne Supremacy its occasional transparent plot device.
07/28/04
This is a complex, grown up thriller that’s rich in its gritty detail and nearly flawless in its stuntwork.
07/28/04
If The Fugitive starred an invincible super-spy and was shot with a broken Steadicam...you'd have this half-decent, hyperactively edited, arms-length chase thriller.
07/28/04
The pacing is lively, yet still easy to follow
