The Bourne Supremacy

Who do you want on a road trip? Jason Bourne. Why? Because he can drive a stick shift with a gun in one hand, a limpy leg, and a bullet in the shoulder - while reading a Moscow road map.

The Bourne Supremacy (sequel to The Bourne Identity) is a pretty slick tale of a secret agent out in the cold who wants to stay there. However, things he can't quite remember (due to partial amnesia) keep reaching out from his past, including people who want him dead.

Although I think it helps a bit to have seen The Bourne Identity (a better movie IMHO), this film moves along under its on power quite well. Matt Damon carries the show (duh, he's the star) with a well-honed approach to the Bourne character coming to terms with who he is, and what he has done.

I have to say, some of the finer details of the plot eluded me, and the overuse of hand-held camera work, at times, made me dizzy.

The thumping musical score by John Powell is very fine, worth buying on its own.

See this movie, I think you'll enjoy it.
