Supremely interesting with its twisting narrative - By: Stampy, 25 Nov 2008 
Jason Bourne (Damon) is still on the run & when he is framed, he is once again looking for answers to his past.
Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) reprises his role as the man suffering from amnesia in this action packed thriller which delivers more action than its predecessor, which sadly doesn't have the consistent silent sophistication the previous instalment delivered so well.
Starting with a flashback, viewers are thrust right back into Bourne's life, giving the viewer a chance to work out for themselves what Bourne's previous life entailed.
What follows is a passionate turn of events & a soft tear jerking unpredictable scene. This event, though only ten or twenty minutes in, turns the plot around & delivers a gritty & dark blow to the central character.
From there we see Bourne trying to find out why the CIA is hunting him down. Bourne travels to Goa, Berlin, Moscow & America to find answers.
Having the film set in different locations gives the narrative a delicious spin & an incentive to explore. The filming in these different locations is excellent, & there is a beautiful behind the scenes feature on the DVD which is definitely worth viewing.
Paul Greengrass takes over to direct this crime thriller & delivers an action styled realistic impact on the narrative. The handheld camera style can be off putting & the action sequences can feel too shaky for the scene's own good. However when following Bourne on foot & doing the slow tense scenes in the offices & cafes, Greengrass achieves a hard sentimental feeling.
Filled with cars, boats & guns, this description may seem like a review for Bond. This second instalment to the series feels a lot like a 007 flick with its heavy use of action. Unlike Bond, the action sequences in these films are far more realistic & therefore easier for its viewers to digest & appreciate.
Bourne is also a lot more open in this film but he still has that soft silence that was blissful viewing in the first film.
Like Identity, Supremacy has a wonderful soundtrack, which plays softly in the background giving the film an intensely blissful vibe.
This is the least accomplished of the series as the intensity doesn't live up to Identity or Ultimatum & the direction is frequently inconsistent. However it is still exciting with its complex & sombre narrative & wonderful central protagonist.
8/10
Beware - second hand copies as new - By: Takk, 04 Nov 2008 
The title says it alll. I bought this dvd from Amazon directly as new. However the dvd received from Amazon (note: not marketplace) is clearly scratched, the cover is worn & the thin plastic is torn in places.
To put it mildly, I'm not impressed with Amazon regarding this.
