Movie Review: The Bourne Supremacy

Or, Matt Damon: Action Man. In order to be taken seriously as an action star, Matt Damon has successfully grown a pair of impressive action star arms. Really. His biceps look like quivering watermelons. He stands at the ready to strap babies to his triceps and machine-gun his way across a flaming rice paddy.

Which sounds like it would have been a way better movie than The Bourne Supremacy. Damon resumes his role as an amnesic former CIA killing machine who wants to get back at the government bureaucrats that made him that way. It’s muddled and talky, and includes several adequate car crashes.
