The Bourne Supremacy
Stream
Rent & Buy
A CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents is blown by a rival agent, who then shows up in the sleepy seaside village where Bourne and Marie have been living. The pair run for their lives and Bourne, who promised retaliation should anyone from his former life attempt contact, is forced to once again take up his life as a trained assassin to survive.
What critics thought
The Bourne Supremacy lands as a tightly made action sequel that holds up on craft even if it doesn't transcend its genre. Critics were broadly positive but not effusive — the film earns its reputation more through competent execution than genuine ambition, with Paul Greengrass's kinetic direction and Damon's grounded performance doing the heavy lifting.
“treats the material with gravity and uses good actors in well-written supporting roles [that] elevates the movie above its genre, but not quite out of it”
