Review by Christina Teichman
After a safe and secretive couple of years,
Jason Bourne has to dive back into the chaos and
destructiveness of being a highly trained weapon.
He remembers all the old tricks and even develops
a few new ones. Bourne continues to execute
amazing escape tactics in order to break away
from a gory demise. After a run around the world
dealing with old and new antagonists, Bourne
once again solves the puzzle.
“The Bourne Supremacy” was everything it
was supposed to be. Though slightly predictable,
the fast-paced, action-packed movie held its own
against its prequel, “The Bourne Identity.” Playing
an explosive role. Matt Damon excels in the con
tinued character of ex-CIA asset Bourne. Franka
Potente returns as Marie, the key to Bourne’s
return to his past. Nikky (Julia Stiles) and Ward
Abbot (Brian Cox) revisit the screen as well.
Two new characters are introduced to the vicious
scheme: Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), a CIA agent,
and Kirill (Karl Urban), a competitive hit man.
While the storyline of the movie is entertain
ing, the quality of the film is not as enjoyable.
The cameras continuously shake, which takes
away needed focus on some items and even makes
the movie difficult to watch at times. The:
scenes are compelling and heart-racing funi
audience while at the same time containing
prising relief about the outcome.
The physical aspect of the film wasnottkfc L0ND
enjoyable factor. The views of all the d t0 new |-,, L
cities and their countrysides are relaxing aim] a b ai
breathtaking at moments. The movie alsomrPets n
delightful score of music from different cult
in different languages.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Army sergeant
charged in
carjacking
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - An Army
sergeant accused of carjacking a
sheik’s sport utility vehicle in Iraq
testified Wednesday an officer
told him to do it, and that he
didn’t think it was a criminal act.
“I was a soldier fulfilling my
duties to my lieutenant within the
rules of engagements," said Sgt.
1st Class James Williams, 37, of
rural Westmoreland County, Va.
Williams, of the 101st Airborne
Division, began testifying late
Tuesday afternoon in the sec
ond day of his court-martial. He
is charged with armed robbery
and willful dereliction of duty for
allegedly allowing his soldiers to
consume alcohol. If convicted, he
faces up to 15 years in prison.
On Tuesday, Williams’ attorney
argued the vehicle was taken only
after Williams’ lieutenant instruct
ed soldiers to find him a vehicle,
and that it was the lieutenant who
came up with the cover story that
the SUV was found abandoned.
In testimony Wednesday, Williams
also said he saw commanders drink
ing alcohol in Iraq and thought it was
OK. He said when he allowed his sol
diers to drink, he watched their weap
ons and made sure other non-drinking
soldiers were providing security.
He said he only consumed alco
hol once in Iraq. "It was my under
standing that moderate use was
tolerated through my experience
with other units," Williams said.
