Critics' reviews

"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"

Todd McCarthy: Variety
"'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."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"Every time you feel like you're finally grabbing hold of something involving, the picture once again spins frustratingly out of reach."

Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter
"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)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"An action movie that goes above and beyond what audiences expect from a summer spy thriller"

Matt Goldberg: Collider
"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."

Scott Tobias: AV Club
"The plot is strictly formula, but everything else has such an edge that you'll hardly notice"

Hank Sartin: Chicago Reader
