From top to bottom, from the action parts to the talky bits, The Bourne Supremacy is a movie that absolutely flies by with nary an unnecessary breath.
The Bourne Supremacy is top-drawer genre filmmaking -- an intense, intelligent, exciting, impeccable spy thriller. Its director, Paul Greengrass, has a background in much smaller films like The Theory of Flight and Bloody Sunday, and the exponential budgetary leap hasn't turned him into a hack for hire -- his work here is idiosyncratic, rough around the edges, and all the more riveting for it. The Bourne Identity, this film's predecessor, also brought in an indie director -- Doug Liman of Swingers and Go. The move worked there, too, but Greengrass takes more risks and collects larger dividends. Hollywood in summer doesn't get much better than this. |
