The second chapter in the "Bourne Trilogy," based on Robert Ludlum's best-selling espionage novels, reaches the screen in this sequel to the 2002 thriller The Bourne Identity. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) has abandoned his life as a CIA assassin and has been traveling beneath the agency's radar, eventually reconnecting with Marie Kreutz (Franka Potente), the woman he loves. But Bourne is haunted by vivid dreams and troubling memories of his days as a killer, and he's not certain how much really happened and how much is a product of his imagination. When Bourne is led out of hiding by circumstances beyond his control, he must reconcile his past and present as he struggles to keep Marie out of harm's way and foil an international incident with dangerous consequences. The Bourne Supremacy also features Joan Allen as one of Webb's superiors, while Julia Stiles and Brian Cox reprise their roles as intelligence agents from the first film.

"Over ten hours of entertainment" the box copy exclaims, and that may be true -- if you are a very, very slow reader. Actually, you can save yourself the trouble of watching either American Pie or American Pie 2 by clicking into the "Your Favorite Piece of Pie Chapter" in the Bonus section of American Pie 2; it's a list of the ten best scenes, in their entireties, from both movies, thereby dispensing with the plots and secondary characters, which were theatrical padding and afterthoughts in the first place. There's also a "classic quotes" chapter, which includes the clip from the film of the character saying the memorable line. The bonuses on the sequel's disc include a gag reel of the actors cutting up on the set, a "making of" documentary showing the actors acting up on the set, outtakes of the actors...( you get the idea). No doubt, these kids had a ball making the movie; with all the cutting up, it's a wonder the movie got made at all. There also are deleted scenes (most of them are pointless), casting tapes of the principal actors from the original movie (shot on what looks like rather low-end video), commentaries, DVD-ROM features, the "Be Like That" music video featuring 3 Doors Down (along with musical highlights from the film), and text bios of the filmmakers and actors (read them slowly and you just might get that promised ten hours). The special features are unrated, so be prepared for a significant amount of profanity from those actors cutting up on the set.
