The Bourne Identity

3/4 stars

Possibly my least favorite of the three. A bit clumsy compared to the latter two. Example: why does Castel come through Bourne's window on a wire to attack? That's a little over the top and flashy. Some points back for conveying the premise, a task the other two movies obviously aren't required to do; as well as for Clive Owen's cool, understated performance.

The Bourne Supremacy

3/4 stars

Improves upon Identity with a tighter pace and a more intense directorial style (although parts were just too hard to visually comprehend). On the downside, a lot less happens in this film than in the other two of the series.
