	Author	Review
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Exciting, emotionally layered and brimming with invention. The brains behind Bond should take note (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"An erratic but not unworthy sequel to its gritty, genre-invigorating predecessor (...) For all its visual bedazzlement, however, there are equal aspects of breathless bluster, insistent showiness and defiant disorientation"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"'The Bourne Supremacy' knows what it's doing (...) If you pay close attention, you won't get lost. And even if you do, it doesn't take away from the fun."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's raucously and entertainingly put together and Damon is far from his usual annoying self (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"Every time you feel like you're finally grabbing hold of something involving, the picture once again spins frustratingly out of reach."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie skillfully delivers a series of fights, stalkings, plottings and chases (...) That Matt Damon is able to bring some poignancy to Jason Bourne makes the process more interesting (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"An action movie that goes above and beyond what audiences expect from a summer spy thriller"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"Greengrass knows the difference between arbitrary, MTV-style editing and fast-cutting with a purpose (...) The Bourne movies make the modest work of delivering the goods seem like a rare treat."	POS
United States	Hank Sartin Chicago Reader	"The plot is strictly formula, but everything else has such an edge that you'll hardly notice"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Plot details are irrelevant. Just grab your popcorn and let this movie work you over (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
