The Bourne Supremacy

It's kind of a shame, really. The first one was pretty good, and this movie could have been so much better than it is. The story is compelling, the action audacious, no expense was spared on production or location...but the direction just plain sucks, mostly because of devotion to the "constantly move the camera around" concept that supposedly makes even static scenes into something active. No, it doesn't, it's just annoying. Hold the camera still, fool. There's still some good stuff here; you might enjoy it despite the shakyvision direction. Watch it on cable or get it from the library--just don't pay for it.
