Adapted from the best-selling novels of author Robert Ludlam, ‘the Bourne Supremacy’ continues where the smash worldwide success of ‘The Bourne Identity’ (2002) left off. Although helmed by a different director from the first, here, Paul Greengrass – who wrote and directed ‘Bloody Sunday’ – manages to capture a similar atmosphere of espionage and intrigue, with sharp camerawork creating a slick finished product.

Matt Damon returns as the CIA secret agent David Webb, who used to lead a double life as the highly trained assassin Jason Bourne. Having been washed up on a beach nearly dead and unable to remember who he was in ‘The Bourne Identity’, he continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life. Until, that is, the Chinese vice-premier is brutally murdered and the killer leaves the calling card of Jason Bourne. This sends the CIA into chaos, as the identity of Jason Bourne was top secret. How could it have got out, and why is it being used to cause a rift in US-Chinese relations? Perhaps rift is too light a word, as it becomes a race against time to solve the mystery before a major diplomatic crisis breaks out. But it’s not going to be easy and will involve Webb reprising the Bourne identity, placing him in the utmost danger as the Chinese hunt down the killer. In the process, he must protect his girlfriend Marie (Potente), who has become embroiled in the drama.

In this second offering, the stakes are higher than ever as the secret agent coolly maneuvers through the dangerous waters of international espionage – replete with CIA plots and ever-shifting covert alliances – while still hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and answers to his fragmented past. Shot across a range of worldwide exotic locations, ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ will have you gripped by its fast-paced and engaging plot, while stunning you visually with its mixture of high octane action and espionage thriller.
