The Bourne Supremacy

Paul Greengrass · 2004 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

Two years off the grid in Goa, the amnesiac operative is found by a Russian assassin who kills the woman he lives with, and a planted fingerprint puts him at a botched Berlin buy. He goes back into Europe to work out who sold him, tailed by a deputy director who has been reading his file for years. Greengrass took over the series and made its handheld, cut-on-motion style the decade's action standard.
