Termed as a “serious minded” entertainer, The Bourne Supremacy (2004) had lived up to its Prequel- The Bourne Identity (2002). The movie avoids out of the world stunts and not-called-for jokes; rather it focuses on the story line and some hardcore action which looks and sounds real. Definitely, this movie is for grown ups who are looking for some serious fun.

This movie is set up in India for the most part of it, where Jason Bourne lives with his Girlfriend Marie under fake identity. The movie starts slow, but picks up the pace with the introduction of a suspicious character on the lookout for Bourne, with a picture of his with him. The jittery camera movement can be annoying and confusing at the same time but it is this camerawork only which brings out the punch in the final scenes of the movie. There are very few movies that I have come across as having such a crisp and intriguing end.

The sequence of events ad scenes through which the movie flows can be a bit confusing to the impatient viewer, but my suggestion for such viewers is to watch the movie till the end in one sitting and be patient while you are browsing through the scenes- the puzzle starts coming together towards the end in a rather abrupt way- so just wait and watch as the story unfolds before you.

In all, Paul Greengrass, the director of the movie has allowed for adequate character development and also managed to keep the pace of the movie moderate, at the same time. The details of the location and actually going to the locations and shooting there without fake sets has added to the genuineness of the movie and added a trans-national flavor to the movie- making it one of the biggest hits of the decade.
