User Reviews for: The Bourne Supremacy

With the change of director comes a greater focus on Bourne as a character as well as a much more frenetic approach to the editing and camerawork that the series has become known for. Supremacy is often seen as the one with the most incoherent action sequences, yet viewed again, its an accusation that is not really supported - perhaps the shift to a smaller screen helps, but the action beats work incredibly well with fights that emphasise brutality and speed and car chases that feel dangerous and tense. Furthermore, the filmmaking approach serves a purpose - Greengrass seems intent on putting the audience in the middle of the action at all times, but also emphasising the character’s viewpoint - Bourne is constantly on the move like the camera and any incoherence in what is shown only serves to highlight what Bourne is going through, culminating in the blur of vehicles and mayhem that make up the final sequence as an injured Bourne struggles on. Damon is again fantastic as Bourne, but here the story is much more interested in exploring the ramifications of Bourne’s past life and how he moves forward with this knowledge and whilst connecting the central story with one of Bourne’s previous missions is perhaps a stretch, it does at least ensure the audience is invested in Bourne himself and not just on the resolution to the central conflict that the film sets up.
