The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

A good, not great, sequel by Greengrass. I definitely prefer Doug Liman, the director of the original. Some fantastic action sequences, but the story got away from him. The flow was off and the occasional jerky action sequences couldn't save it.

Rating: C+

Limitless (2011)

Smart, like the drug it’s centered around. I appreciated the cinematic changeup that occurred alongside the characters metamorphisms. Bright, vivid colors under the influence. Dim, monochromatic hues when they came off. These editing tricks really helped to propel the story forward. They did a good job with pacing too, balancing equal parts action and drama. Kudos to director Neil Burger for taking this film to the next level.

Rating: B
