  Movie Spoiler for the film - BOURNE SUPREMACY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Bourne says that he emptied the gun, which doesn?t really surprise the guy (another member of Treadstone) because, "...it felt light." Bourne asks why they're after him (Bourne) but the guy doesn't know and says that Treadstone was shut down and Conklin is dead.
Bourne breaks into the room, walks through it, enters the bathroom...and remembers Conklin sending him in there to kill a man, but the man's wife is there.
Bourne stands with the gun aimed at Kirill, who moans but does not open his eyes, and Bourne does not shoot to finish him off, but leaves him alive, keeping a promise to Marie that he mentioned to Abbott (she wouldn't want me to).

 Spaced Out Forum -> FILM: The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Though Bourne may have lost much of the emotional element of his story (along with most of the character’s dialogue) humanity is vastly increased on the other side of the struggle.
I wasn't to keen of the film, I saw it and was extremely bored and I found the camera technique almost amateurish that because it bobs, shifts and follows badly the action being displayed on film.
The only saving point of the film was the gas explosion in the house was a good part, but on the whole a poor quality film with what looked like a low budget but probably had millions spent on Matt Damon who I think would have burnt faster than the house with his wooden performance.

 Filmtracks: The Bourne Supremacy (John Powell)
Bourne does this in many similar technically gifted ways as James Bond does, and with the success of both The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy on film, the smell of the franchise's future is fresh indeed.
While the plotlines of the Jason Bourne films are --once again, like the Bond films-- ridiculous in their relentless attempts to produce convincing assassination scenarios, The Bourne Supremacy in particular has played its hand quite well with critics and audiences.
Powell had created a choppy string motif to represent Bourne's endeavors in the first film, along with a staggered and non-heroic string theme over the top of that rhythm, but much of that material was overpowered by other elements in the first score.

 The Bourne Supremacy (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bourne slowly discovers he was one of these assassins and manages to sever his relationship with this organization by the end of the film, warning Treadstone of serious consequences should the CIA attempt to follow him.
Bourne watches as his vehicle is pulled out of the water, then, burning Marie's identification and other pictures, he collects his multiple identity papers, remaining money, and leaves Goa and India behind...along with the life he thought he was living off the grid.
From this, Bourne learns that he is suspected of the murders of the two participants of that CIA operation in Berlin, that Landy is the chief investigating officer in these murders and that she is headed for Berlin...

 MCN: The Bourne Supremacy
Jason Bourne is a character that fits America's sense of political reluctance while blaming individuals, not institutionsm for horrible missteps, making Bourne the ultimate guilt-free American hero of this generation.
Most of the Jack Ryan films are of quality, but there is something already apparent on Bourne… the freedom offered by the studio to be as dark and brooding and harsh as it need be.
I expect Supremacy to push past the $250 million mark, at worst, and that should be enough water in that cash pool to float the next boat.

 The Film Asylum Review - The Bourne Supremacy (Matt Damon, Franka Potente)
Ex-assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is once again pulled back into the world of government conspiracies and the underworld of politics, yet all he wants is to be left alone.
For instance, you see a dedicated CIA woman who is extremely determined to catch Bourne at any cost and you just catch help but hiss at her when she appears on screen.

 The Bourne Supremacy
Stripped of embellishment, The Bourne Identity is almost a textbook on movement and gesture, as purely cinematic an action film as any to come down the pike since the heyday of the '70s British gangster genre.
Big Brother in charge has moved from fear to suspicion to regret; The Bourne Supremacy is the perfect film (and a good companion piece to Jonathan Demme's The Manchurian Candidate) for a culture torn between bloodlust and repentance--the abusive spouse both brutal and sorry.
Bourne tries to live a peaceful life but is haunted first by the same nightmare, then by his old employers, who believe him to be responsible for a few unconnected events.

 Bourne Supremacy, The London Movie Review
Doug Liman’s 2002 spy thriller The Bourne Identity turned out to be one of the biggest box office hits of that year, which pretty much guaranteed that we’d eventually see the second instalment of Robert Ludlum’s spy trilogy, The Bourne Supremacy.
Bourne and his girlfriend Marie (Franka Potente) have managed to stay one step ahead by constantly moving around, but inevitably Bourne’s past comes calling and he finds himself in the frame for that old plot classic, a crime he didn’t commit.
Fans of the first film’s Mini chase set piece won’t be disappointed by the chase sequence involving an indestructible taxi and there’s also a bravura fight scene in which Bourne fights off an assassin using only a rolled-up magazine.

 Bourne Supremacy, The (2004): Reviews
The Bourne Supremacy re-enters the shadowy world of expert assassin Jason Bourne (Damon), who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life.
The Bourne Supremacy builds on and exceeds the original, delivering, quite simply, one of the finest big-budget thrillers in years.
Almost everything that made "The Bourne Identity" refreshing -- the wit, the irony, the suspense, the novelty of its premise -- is gone in The Bourne Supremacy, and what's left is the spectacle of Matt Damon, with perfect posture and senses primed like a cat, making his way through a routine action thriller.

 The Bourne Supremacy : film review
With that film, Greengrass showed that he was a director who knew how to build tension, develop characters we cared about and convincingly tell a story.
A decent scene of genuine emoting toward the end of the film aside, the depth to Damon's performance this time around is regulated to a scowl and a raised eyebrow.
Should this film do as well financially as the original did, the film-makers would be wise to pay closer attention to the late author's novel.

 THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (PG-13): CAP Movie Ministry Entertainment Media Analysis Report MAR24068
As with other original-sequel pairs of films we try to provide you with a comparative of the sequel to the original to help you decide whether the sequel is morally watchable just in case you have seen the original.
Though there were more examples of violence in The Bourne Supremacy, the film was a little less dense in total assaults on morality and decency than The Bourne Identity as shown by the difference between the CAP ID scores for each film.
The final score of 66 of The Bourne Supremacy clearly indicates a film of lesser total severity than The Bourne Identity but still severe enough to warrant your close inspection of the listing in the Findings/Scoring section of this report before making your own informed decision whether it is fit for your family.

 The Bourne Supremacy Review - FilmFocus.Co.UK
First of all, Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation - a film that, arguably, has little relation to its source, and the two most recent Harry Potter films, that are so distantly related to each other but, at the same time, inseparably related to their source.
As a result, Jason Bourne is not a happy man. He's a man fighting for himself, infinitely sharper than his former bosses, ultimately unstoppable.
If The Bourne Identity was good, this is great - it has the power to redefine the spy franchise forever and leaves no one in any doubt that a Bourne Ultimatum should be issued very, very soon.

 The Bourne Supremacy film review
The Bourne Supremacy, or Bourne Again as it should be called, is a stylish and worthy sequel to 2002's The Bourne Identity, and further establishes the enigmatic Jason Bourne as one of cinema's more indelible assassins.
Like Bourne, whose amnesia has left him with only fractured glimpses of his past, the story is disjointed and only revealed in cryptic glimpses, making its resolution a puzzle that both the audience and Bourne have to solve together.
Supremacy begins with Bourne in Goa, India where he's been hiding out with Marie (Franka Potente) in the hope of escaping both his past life as an assassin and those who want rid of him.

 Film Review: The Bourne Supremacy
The Bourne Supremacy is the sequel to 2002’s surprise hit The Bourne Identity starring Matt Damon as amnesiac former CIA assassin, Jason Bourne.
Matt Damon is convincing as Bourne, haunted by fragments of memory and pained by the loss of his peaceful life with Marie and he handles the action easily.
A third film is devoutly to be wished although some may be hoping that Paul Greengrass is not asked to direct it.

 Neil Young's Film Lounge - The Bourne Supremacy
The Bourne Identity and Bloody Sunday are two films with very little in common - apart from the fact that they were two of 2002's most bafflingly over-rated releases.
But films aren't made on paper: and on celluloid, where it counts, The Bourne Supremacy is an absolute treat - a quantum leap ahead of its predecessor.
Supremacy tilts the balance back towards the centre - or, rather, to a more ambiguous state of affairs.

 ‘Bourne’ doesn't live up to expectations - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
Easily the least convincing aspect of “The Bourne Identity” was the romantic happy ending, with former CIA agent Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) and his lover Marie (Franka Potente) escaping the spy world by retreating to a Mediterranean beach.
The new “Bourne” is not much more plausible than the first one, but the faulty story logic calls attention to itself because the characters no longer matter.
Returning from the first film are her homicidal superior (the suitably malevolent Brian Cox) and his assistants (Julia Stiles and Gabriel Mann, both wasted in tiny roles that almost anyone could have played).

 BBC - Films - The Bourne Supremacy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
As with franchise-starter The Bourne Identity (which belied bad buzz to become a big hit), this is a studio production with an indie sensibility.
The bloody, brutal magazine fight (you'll see) is as original as the first film's painful pen battle, but even the more outrageous action is invested with an unusual degree of realism (when you're shot, it hurts; when you fall, you limp).

 Bourne Supremacy
Bourne finds that he has been framed for the murder of two agents, the frame this time instigated by a Russian oil magnate, Gretkov (Karel Roden).
There is misdirection as Bourne is lead to believe that the CIA’s Treadstone project, the project that gave rise to his abilities, is once again after him.
This is a refreshing change from the spies often shown in films that seem to be able to piece together a complex plan on the flimsiest piece of information.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Bourne Supremacy
Greengrass, who shot to the forefront of new UK cinema with his tragic action picture Bloody Sunday, is emphatic about replicating all the first movie's zestful technical accoutrements—Oliver Wood's serrated camerawork and John Powell's kinky score are indistinguishable from their first incarnations.
In Supremacy, CIA realpolitik is again the textual backbone of the Robert Ludlum adaptation.
Her elimination sets the stage for Greengrass's characteristically sullen trajectory, in which the glowering Bourne, experiencing love lost for the first time in his natural memory, confronts his own guilty conscious.

 Untitled Document
Though not as fresh as the first Bourne film, Supremacy is a well made action/thriller and a worthy follow-up to Doug Liman's original.
There is only one criticism I can level at The Bourne Supremacy: the film lacks the dynamic between Matt Damon and Franka Potente present in The Bourne Identity.
In fact, given that Bourne spends much of the film searching for the identity of someone who has framed him while simultaneously avoiding the local authorities, the film is reminiscent of The Fugitive.

 UGO Screenwriter's Voice - "The Bourne Supremacy" Film Review by Brian Tallerico
It may be a sequel, but The Bourne Supremacy actually marks the beginning of a very long franchise by raising the bar for the series.
Jason Bourne doesn't have the flashy gadgets or scantily clad followers of the other JB but, as played perfectly by Damon, he has all of the other crucial features of a true spy hero from the physical ability to fight his way out to the mental strength to think his way to safety.
Gilroy and Greengrass set out to make a solid, adult-marketed action film and because they never lost sight of the little details necessary to do that, they not only made one of the best action films in a long time, they legitimatized a series that could be around longer than the original JB himself.

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