Trivia:

Unlike the first movie, screenwriter Tony Gilroy did read the book this time and claimed that he did a re-imagination not adaptation of the novel. What he meant that was he wrote an original screenplay from scratch using key events / characters from the novel as framework except discarding the traditional Carlos The Jackal-type villain for Kiril

Goofs:

Continuity: When we see Nicky walking down the stairs in Amsterdam, you see a newspaper shelf in the background with the name L'echo. L'echo a Walloonian news agency and not a Dutch one.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Conklin: [voiceover - memories] This is not a drill, soldier. We clear on that? This is a live project. You're a go. Training is over. Training is over.

The Name Say It All

Oh man, I say The Bourne Supremacy is much more thrilling than the first one. The first one was like an introduction of Bourne and now since we know the character, it is left with solid story and thrilled feeling after watching.

The story follows after the first installation; Bourne fight back after being framed by the Russian mob and now the CIA is after him.

What can I say; this is better than Bond series, with all the actions, sophisticated car chase scenes, the cat and mouse chase and the tactic between the killing machine and the world biggest organization. The soundtrack is also great.

This is brilliant movie, somewhat surpass my expectation. I thought it is like a B grade but this is definitely an A.

Recommended.

Rating: 8/10 (Grade: A-)
