Along the way he met up with and fell in love with Marie and his desire to lead a normal life with her and put the past behind him led him to the head of Treadstone where he influenced them to leave him alone. Confident he had finally escaped his past he moved to a beach bungalow with Marie and started his life anew. But it appears that the CIA and other agencies aren’t through with him yet and he is about to find himself thrown into the midst once more. Bourne who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life is not going to take this intrusion lightly. When a group of Russian mafia commits a crime and kill two agents in the process they frame Bourne for the crime and the CIA believes he has gone rogue once more. A new Agent on the case Landay begins to delve into the CIA files on Treadstone and is not happy to discover the project nor its clandestine operations nor the fact that it does not seem to have stopped and the real director of the project may still be running the operation without the approval of the CIA.

The first movie was a bastion of how good a pure “popcorn flick” could be, filled with action, amazing fights and one of the best car chases in movie history. The second movie does not miss a beat picking up where the first on left off as it is too an incredibly fast paced movie that keeps you glued to your seat as you find yourself enthralled in the story and all the action. Matt Damon has proven he is a really good actor and the role of Jason Bourne is perfect for him as he just seems to slide into the role so well its hard not believe that he is the amnesia plagued assassin. When he is one the screen he just seems to be able to glue you to your seat with anticipation for what is going to happen next. These movies are wonderfully paced as they mix the action so thoroughly with the drama that they show you what a “popcorn flick” should be. Supremacy easily tops Identity as the action seems quicker paced and you cannot help but fall in love with a story that brings the fight to the doorstep of the enemy. The line “where are you… right next to you” fits the entire feeling of the movie as you feel like you are right in the middle of the action. If you loved Identity or just a good action packed movie this movie will blow you socks off.
