Jason Bourne hits the road, as we celebrate the car chase of The Bourne Supremacy… From the beginning, Russian agent Kirill (Karl Urban) has been established as Bournes nemesis.
From the off, poor old Bourne is established as the David to Kirills Goliath.
Besides, its Kirill who establishes himself as the villain here.
Fortunately, Bournes cunning and superior driving ability prevails against the superior acceleration and build quality of Kirills Merc.
Greengrass direction is top-notch throughoutThe Bourne Supremacy,but nowhere is his skill more evident than here.
The chases technical execution is brilliant, too.
The documentary style adds impact rather than diminishes it; we feel every jarring impact.
Greengrass strips the typical Hollywood car chase of its usual glamour.
The LA blue skies are replaced by an autumnal Moscow grey.
Exotic sports cars are replaced by stock off-road vehicles and brittle Soviet taxicabs.
