it'S ALMOST a cardinal rule in the film industry that a sequel to a successful movie - with the possible exception being Godfather Part II - rarely beats the original.
However, The Bourne Supremacy is a pulsating action-spy drama that exceeds all expectations and leaves the audience yearning for more.
Directed by Paul Greengrass, the film - a follow-up to The Bourne Identity (2002) - continues the story of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), a trained CIA assassin suffering from partial amnesia.
In his new adventure, Bourne is forced back into action after his sweetheart Marie is shot by a Russian (Karl Urban).
Hunted by a Russian oil mogul (Karel Roden) and CIA deputy Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), Bourne needs to fight for his survival while seeking redemption by uncovering a secret past that has persistently haunted him in his dreams.
Like most spy movies such as the Mission: Impossible series and the James Bond franchise, much of The Bourne Supremacy's appeal lies in its suspenseful plot and explosive action, which includes high-octane car chase sequences.
