The Sad, Slow Decline of IMDbThe Bourne Supremacy (***)
The Bourne Supremacy is a solid, well-made, easily forgotten spy/action film. I did not notice any forehead-slap-inducing plot holes, weak dialogue, or bad effects. That immediately separates this film from virtually every single recent spy/action film that I have seen. I’m not trying to damn Bourne with faint praise, because it *is* entertaining, but it is an example of good film craftsmanship, not of artistry.
