The Bourne Supremacy

The excessive use of handheld cameras and rapid cutting makes this fast-paced thriller a bit hard to watch and follow. But then, the enormous plot holes also help there. Still, with Matt Damon’s seven-watt starpower giving the screen a faint glow, The Bourne Supremacy manages to maintain interest throughout its reasonably short length. The story is the usual superspy-meets-girl, superspy-loses-girl, superspy-rampages-through-Europe sort of thing, but there are a few nice twists and a charmingly villainous performance by Brian Cox. In sum, The Bourne Supremacy is better than shaving your head with a cheese grater while chewing aluminum foil, but not as good as getting the Nobel prize in physics while scoring with the Olsen twins and/or ‘Nsync.
