Viewing Notes

THE BOURNE SUPREMACY certainly serves as a decent middle chapter to the Bourne Trilogy.

For whatever ephemeral reason though, it loses momentum from the first film, despite a wicked car chase. I can’t place my theatrical finger on it, but there’s something that just doesn’t raise it to the same level as IDENTITY. The main issue I can scope is that some of the villainous personalities are rather bland and don’t stand out, and frankly, the detail of the whole conspiracy is a bit murky, though Brian Cox does stand out.

It’s not a bad film. In fact, in spy cinema, it’s rather good as things go. It just needed a pinch more of something.
