Bourne Supremacy - WARNING: Spoilers !
Wondering what people think.
I think it was shot well. And pacing was good. Editing was spot on. It was neat to see Karl Urbain in sort of the antagonist kind of role, or generally as one of the antagonists. Not a classy a race scene as French Connection . Ronin had a better sequence. I think the original was better (Identity) as far as that racing scene is concerned.
I was a bit concerned that killing off the female lead, Franka Potent early on was disappointing. I like her as an actor and the film could have been a bit better if she stayed on. I never read the books so maybe its true to the book.
Just it seemed like a cliche motivator to go kick some ass. Revenge.
I liked the fact of Nicky returning for a sort of cameo. And seeing a bit more of who she is. As a character.
Damon...Damon is the anti-hero. But has sort of created this college grad kinda smart guy that he can't get away from. He's striving to be a dirty Achilles in sense. Sorta.
Its not Ronin as far as the overall sense of how I see covert ops go (minus the Sean Bean skit). Though Ronin does have a flare for romanticism.
It amounted to a smart, European based flick that Hollywood produced, with lots of people looking particularly serious. No jokes in the whole film.
I don't think anyone had a smile. I guess it amounted to a very cold film after
drifting from Goa to Berlin. Warm to emotionally cold. Not really artsy.
But....
Good sequence of Marie floating in the water.
