The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Country: US/GER
Technical: Technicolor/Super 35 108m
Director: Paul Greengrass
Cast: Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Joan Allen, Marton Csokas
Synopsis:
A renegade ex-Soviet politician who has sequestered millions of CIA dollars scotches an investigation by a new female bureau chief and frames Bourne while at the same time tracking him down and attempting to silence him for good. Bourne sets out to prove his innocence in time-honoured fashion: by finding the guilty party.
Review:
A worthy successor to the high-octane Bourne Identity. Greengrass brings his drama-doc aesthetic to bear on what is essentially the 007 formula that never got tried but which has been applied instead to countless conspiracy and Cold War thrillers. It works because all concerned, especially the cast, take it seriously. The climactic car chase around Moscow strains credibility to breaking point but is a suitably nail-biting finale.
