Bourne Supremacy

Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), amnesiac former killer for the CIA, is being hunted again by the CIA, as he is framed for a crime he did not commit. He must run to various exotic locations to escape bad guys. It has a plot with intrigue and twists. The movie is so intense the only breather you get is just minutes before it ends.

I think Supremacy is the perfect example of how one thing can ruin a movie. The choice of using hand-held cameras is disastrous. Greengrass seems to think that the less of a picture you can comprehend, the better it is. During the non-action scenes, the camera couldn't keep still for a second, making it hard to understand what was happening on screen. Although I understand the want for "authenticity" for the action scenes, is it really hard to put a camera on a tripod to keep everything still for a couple seconds?

On the other hand, the action scenes were fun to watch. They weren't as fun as the ones in Identity, but they were worthy nonetheless. The car chase scene was as energetic as it could have been, and considering the aforementioned atrocity of the camera, I guess it couldn't really have been better. Still, during the fight and action scenes, it was entertaining. The movie as a whole was exciting, engaging, and never left you bored, which is good enough.

Damon definitely is into his role as an expert assassin as he was in Identity. The man on the screen is Brian Cox, this man can do anything, act well, and be completely cool while he's at it. He's one of the coolest actors out there besides Ving Rhames, Sam Jackson, and R. Lee Ermey.
