However, Supremacy is a considerable improvement. Although Paul Greengrass replaces Doug Liman in the director's chair, The Bourne Supremacy is not appreciably different in tone or quality to the first and for my money, one of the most genuinely thrilling thrillers of the summer.ĭespite my relatively glowing comments about John Powell above, a quick glance at my review of Identity doesn't really rate it as a favourite Powell score. In the follow up, The Bourne Supremacy, Matt Damon confirms his credentials as a strong, but believable action hero, much more so than his chum Ben Affleck who is really far better as a cocky everyman than a stoic man of action. Almost without anyone noticing, John Powell has built up an impressive list of credits, from modern animated gems such as Shrek and Chicken Run, to some variably good action movies, the remake of The Italian Job (far better than people would like to admit, even in comparison to the original) and of course, the first film featuring Jason Bourne, The Bourne Identity.
