wo years from our last encounter
with Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) in
The Bourne Identity, an underrated
classic espionage tale, we return to pick up
his story. An amnesiac who has learned he is
a highly-trained assassin, Bourne knows
enough about his fellow killers to warn them
to stay away from him. Now it seems they’re
on his trail.
Two strands of The Bourne Supremacy
capture our attention right away. Violent,
incoherent flashbacks jolt Jason from sleep.
His partner, Marie (Franka Potente), tries to
get him to talk about his dreams, but they are
too splintered to make sense. Bourne sus-
pects he’s again in danger but doesn’t under-
stand why. With no certainty but their com-
mitment to one another, Marie and Jason
look out at the Indian Ocean stretching to the
horizon as dawn breaks. Perhaps at the same
time but a world away in Berlin, two men
break into a building, stage a crime and
escape.
Later the following morning in India,
Bourne notices a stranger driving through
the market, clearly searching for someone.
When Bourne meets up with Marie, he tells
her they must leave immediately. From that
point on, events take a catastrophic turn for
Bourne. When he recovers, his target is the
people he used to work for, an operation
called Treadstone, and this time he’s not tak-
ing any chances.
Meanwhile in D.C., former Treadstoners
Ward Abbott (Brian Cox), Nicky (Julia Stiles)
and Gabriel Mann (Danny Zorn) are trying to
learn to work under the direction of CIA
deputy Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), who did
not even know about the now-disbanded unit
yesterday. But that was when she lost two
important operatives in a bombing in Berlin.
The action in the film is CGI-free, which
doesn’t mean it’s less explosive. The staple
of most thrillers includes car chases and
blowing up buildings. One car chase late in
the film goes on too long for me, although it
is strikingly choreographed by director Paul
Greengrass, who earned his chops in the
unforgettable Bloody Sunday. The carnage
here is troubling, although we do not see the
victims.
The plot unfolds smoothly, and non-stop
movement defines Bourne’s personal odyssey.
He’s extremely versatile, always a step ahead
of the other guys, and not shy about outsmart-
ing everyone in sight. He fights with only one
adversary who is as accomplished a fighter as
he, and the audience holds its collective breath
throughout. Damon has a knack for action —
who would have guessed? His pretty looks
have taken on a burnished sheen, and he
exudes a self-confidence that comes with
maturity. All that was promise in Identity
comes to fruition in Supremacy.
Brian Cox plays a company man, threat-
ened equally by Landy and Bourne but for dif-
ferent reasons. Abbott is curt, not courteous,
and unbending. Cox brings a dissolute seedi-
ness to the character in an admirable portrayal.
Espionage thrillers are dominant males’
territory, but here three female characters
influence the film without slowing it down.
Stiles has a small role as Nicky, a support per-
son for the now-defunct operation,
Treadstone. Nicky, alone, tries to reach out to
Bourne, but even Stiles’ humanity can’t thaw
his icy conviction. Potente brings Marie’s
warmth and gentleness to her scenes with
Bourne, but her role is small as well. As
Damon has a knack for action
— who would have guessed?
His pretty looks have taken on a
burnished sheen, and he exudes a self-
confidence that comes with maturity.
All that was promise in Identity comes
to fruition in Supremacy.
deputy director for Central Intelligence, Allen
takes charge. She is a powerful executive
with the ability to critically evaluate situations
and make decisions quickly. But Landy isn’t
an automaton. Allen’s character has a softer
edge than the embattled vice-presidential
nominee she played in The Contender.
A surprisingly robust beginning for a
film certain to be challenged by this week’s
opening of The Manchurian Candidate, The
Bourne Supremacy is a rousing, entertaining
ride through beautiful cities. It’s sure to take
your mind off the heat during August’s dog
days. High recommendations.
