It all begins peacefully enough in The Bourne Supremacy as
he and his girlfriend Marie (Franka Potente) try their best
to remain incognito in a rather lovely looking part of the
Indian sub-continent.
Despite the easy lifestyle Bourne is still wary and his nights
are racked with sleeplessness, or broken dreams of his former
career.
Suddenly, they are brutally thrust back into the CIA's shadowy
world and the closed-down assassination outfit project Treadstone.
There is no way out for Bourne and so he decides to keep the
threat he made to his former employers - that if not left
alone, he would hunt them down and kill them.
I don't know about you guys, but I am a huge fan of Matt
Damon as Jason Bourne. His clean-cut American good guy looks
cover up the soul of a professional killer and he plays the
role to utter perfection.
His eyes are always looking out for traps and in fights -
realistic and vicious hand-to-hand contests - he looks as
if he really can handle himself.
In The Bourne Supremacy we get to see some of his previous
handiwork while on mission and it is fair to say you wouldn't
want to have been targeted for removal by him.
The plot of the movie is not overly complex - you know the
bad guys early on - but the journey Bourne takes is both action-packed
and tense.
The Bourne Supremacy doesn't match its predecessor as an
overall movie - in this less-than-humble opinion - but it
is still a very fine action spy thriller and well worth the
time it takes to watch it.
The video transfer of The Bourne Supremacy is A1 with a pristine
artifact-free presentation. Soundwise, your ears will probably
appreciate a DVD that errs on the side of moderation while
still having plenty of occasions to kick in with surround
when it is needed.
Watch out for The Lord of the Rings Eomer, Karl Urban, as
one of the chief bad guys.
