THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004) - August 6, 2004
An inferior sequel. It was essentially entertaining, though certainly overlong at around two hours. The main problem was Paul Greengrass' ultra-shaky direction. Almost the entire film was shot handheld, which got annoying after a while. And the action scenes were atrocious. They were like a parody of the standard quick-cut / shaky-cam action scene. It was almost impossible to tell what was going on, particularly during the last car chase, as there was seemingly a cut every millisecond. It was so bad I actually had to look away from the screen a couple of times because it was getting so unpleasant and disorienting to watch. Fortunately there wasn't that much action. **1/2
