Before you start reading this one I inform you that you should go through "The Bourne Identity" first to cover the backstory, if you skip that one then you might get confused, and miss the actual thrill of the movie so it's better to cover the first one and move on to this. So "The Bourne Supremacy" covers the story after two years of "The Bourne Identity". This time, it is directed by Paul Greengrass, based on a novel from 1986.
After the incidents in the first part, we saw Jason find Marie and stay with her and he intended to leave all the chaos behind, even though he did tell Conklin not to follow him anymore, the CIA did, and Conklin wasn't there as he was dead in this first one.
The story begins with something like this, Jason and Marie are far from the chaos, in goa India living their life. Jason gets flashbacks from the past and recalls things little by little. We will continue throughout the whole movie. While they were living in India, in Berlin another CIA agent was working on a goal, investigating a past case about a 20M dollar theft in CIA. But things went wrong, the people behind this theft got the files and the money for the contract, also killed two agents of the ongoing mission and the important part is, they planted fingerprints of Jason to blame him. And in the end, they send the same assassin to find out and kill Jason bourne.
And here comes the actions, the assassin finds him in Goa and tries to kill him but somehow he gets lucky to survive but lost something valuable that fuels him to find out why they are still after him. Later he finds out that somehow he is accused of two murders in Berlin and that's why the CIA is after him, project Tradstone is getting re-investigated. And the story moves on to how Bourne gets him out of the mess.
There are a few scenes that I enjoyed and got stuck in my mind. The scene when Bourne calls Landy from a nearby rooftop while watching over her with a sniper aimed. He demands to meet Nicky who was in Tradstone and brought in here too, Landy wasn't willing to accept the offer and she replied, "What if I can't find her?" and then an answer came from Jason that, " It is easy, she is standing right next to you." And the expression on her face due to the shock that Jason is nearby while they were trying to trace was worth watching, that scene was amazing. A similar one happened in the end too.
Another scene that touched me was finding Nesky's daughter to reveal the truth that he recalled from flashbacks of his past and asked for an apology for killing her parents. Though he did it as a part of his job, he asked for an apology from her. That part was also touching for me.
And here comes a scene that earned a question from me. In the ending scenes we see Jason getting chased by Kirill, the assassin, who was assigned to kill Bourne, and this time he shot him in the shoulder from the bridge while Jason was running away through the lakeside road, it wasn't a huge distance yet the assassin missed the opportunity to kill him and managed just to wound him that brought him down later. I got curious about his failed attempt.
Well, there are more mysteries solved in the film than I have pointed out here. For anyone who has watched the first one, it would be easy and enjoyable to float with the story. So the question remains, will the CIA stop following him? Or he will be chased again, maybe his past would move the story forward as he is recalling them little by little. As an action thriller film, this set of movies in Bourne's collection is worth watching in my sense, at least I am going for all of them.
