With this movie, the Bourne Trilogy went instant classic. One of the best chase scenes I know of, a much deeper view on the identity of Bourne himself and the memorable 'magazine weapon' fight scene. Worth of a longer review, but I am too lazy today.

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.

I don't think this is a great movie, it's not even better than the first. The positives are the same as in part one. The movie looks believable, it's not over the top. The stunts are practical and still look good today. But the story is flawed from the beginning on. It's constructed to fit a certain need and because of that is illogical. [spoiler] No one in the whole CIA questions why on earth a trained super assassin like Bourne leave his fingerprint at a scene. That's the door slammed shut for me right there. It takes until the middle of the movie until some low assistant recognized that and instantly get killed. That's a prime example for a plot to fit a need. Of course we have bad Russians and a US Government official working with them. That already wasn't original fifteen years ago. And Marie's death only surves the purpose to remove her from the story so Bourne can go on his business. It had no weight and/or emotional impact at all. If not for the final scene in the first part there wouldn't be a reason for her to be in this at all. [/spoiler] What can I say, it's how I see it.

The movie in itself is good, but god damn, why Mr. Greengrass always hires cameramen with Parkinson. This is the big drawback of this movie for me, every action scenes are ruined because of this.

Best Car Chase ever. :D
