The Bourne Conspiracy (Original title: The Bourne Supremacy ) is an American - German agent thriller by director Paul Greengrass from 2004. It is part of the Bourne film series to the continuation of The Bourne Identity (2002) and the Predecessors to The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), The Bourne Legacy (2012) and Jason Bourne (2016). The main characters are Matt Damon , Franka Potente , Brian Cox and Joan Allen . The plot is based on that of the bestseller Die Borowski-Herrschaft by Robert Ludlum .

action

Two years have passed since Jason Bourne , former CIA hit man, shook off his former employers after his memory loss and went into hiding in Goa , India with his great love Marie . Jason is still plagued by nightmares and flashbacks from his past; he keeps seeing a scene in a Berlin hotel, where he and his boss - who have since been liquidated by the CIA - are at the scene of a murder.

Meanwhile, in the USA, CIA chief Pamela Landy is preparing a new campaign in Berlin. A Russian whistleblower is supposed to hand over evidence of the embezzlement of 20 million dollars by a CIA agent in favor of Russian liaison officers for a fee. But the handover ends in front of the eyes of the CIA observation group with the murder of the agents involved by an unknown killer , who leaves a fingerprint of Jason Bourne on the scene.

In Goa, Bourne discovers that someone is shadowing him: the Russian Kirill, the killer of Berlin , is following him. During a car chase, Kirill accidentally shoots Marie after taking over from Bourne at the wheel. Her car crashes from a bridge into a river and Jason can barely save his own life while making Kirill believe he has drowned by diving for a long time.

While searching for the unknown perpetrator, Pam Landy got in touch with the head of the " Treadstone " secret project from the first part, Ward Abbott, and the agent supervisor at the time, Nicolette Parsons, and finally got the fingerprint from the top secret Treadstone files from the crime scene in Berlin Bourne. When he is recognized and arrested in Naples on his entry into Italy , she picks up his trail. Bourne knocks down his guards and eavesdrop on the connection between the local CIA agent's cell phones and Landy. So he learns about the killer action in Berlin and that Landy is after him. He drives to Munich to ask a former Treadstone agent, with Bourne the last on the program, about Landy. Bourne surprises the agent as he enters the apartment building and confronts him at gunpoint. In a moment of inattentiveness, Bourne is attacked by the agent. A life-and-death struggle ensues, which Bourne can win by strangling the attacker. When Bourne realizes that a silent alarm has been triggered, he leaves the house - not without first opening the main valve of the natural gas connection and by wedging a magazine in a switched on toaster for a delayed ignition of the escaping gas. Before the summoned reinforcements can storm the house, there is an explosion. Jason Bourne moves on to Berlin, where he contacts Landy by phone and asks for a meeting with Nicolette Parsons on the lively Alexanderplatz . Here he can escape the CIA surveillance team in the hustle and bustle of the big city after he learned from Nicolette that the background to Landy's failed Berlin action was the murder of Russian politician Vladimir Neski, who was on the track of embezzling CIA funds.

Through newspaper reports on the Internet, Bourne comes across the Hotel Brecker, where Neski was murdered. He rents his passport (as Jason Bourne) and goes to the room that was mentioned as the crime scene in the media. There, finally, the memory comes back to him: he himself had killed Vladimir Neski on the secret order of his corrupt superior Conklin, as a trial by fire for his use as a killer. The CIA has meanwhile put Bourne on a manhunt through the Berlin police and Bourne can only escape with difficulty after a wild chase. He sneaks into Ward Abbott's hotel room, whom Nicolette has named as the superior of his former boss Conklin, and overhears the latter calling on his contact in Russia to have him murdered because he is on the Neski affair. He confronts him and records his confession on a tape recorder that the murder of Neski was supposed to prevent the uncovering of the shifting of the CIA funds. When Bourne shows Abbott the dictation machine, he realizes that the recording is the end of it, and shortly afterwards he commits suicide in the presence of Landy when she tries to confront him. Landy later receives the tape with Abbott's confession. Bourne's innocence is proven.

Bourne travels to Moscow to look for Neski's daughter. There he is tracked down and chased by the Russian police and Kirill. Kirill shoots him, Bourne escapes for a brief moment, but is tracked down again by Kirill. A wild car chase ensues. After escaping the Moscow police, Bourne manages to push Kirill's car into a pillar with a shot in the tire and his car crashes. Bourne walks away and leaves the fatally injured man in his car. Landy has now arrested Abbott's contacts through the Russian authorities, including Juri Gretkov, one of the richest men in Russia and Kirill's employer.

Shortly thereafter, Bourne goes to the apartment of Neski's daughter and informs her that her mother did not commit suicide after the murder of her father, but that both of them were killed by him.

Some time later, Pamela Landy receives a call from Jason Bourne at her New York office . She thanks him for the tape, tells him that the case is now resolved, and gives him his real name, David Webb . He then declines an offer to speak to Landy in person, with a hint about her tired appearance, and disappears before she can find out from where he was watching her.

background

With a budget of $ 75 million, the film grossed $ 288 million worldwide. Unlike in the first part, Damon was dubbed by Simon Jäger , unlike otherwise by Matthias Hinze , who had died in the meantime and was absent because of his illness.

The film was shot in the following locations:

  • The scenes in the hotel in Berlin were shot in the Westin Grand Berlin .
  • The chase with Kirill was actually filmed in the streets of Moscow. However, some “Moscow scenes” were shot in Berlin. The Tiergarten Spreebogen (TTS) tunnel was used in 2004 (two years before it went into operation) for shooting the wild chase in Moscow. You can briefly see the congress hall on Alexanderplatz and the teacher's house , from whom the mosaic was retouched. Then you see u. a. to the left of the Kino International there is a bus from the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe , although for this scene a different bus was used later for the shoot. Bourne is shot in front of the Spitteleck building, which actually stands in Berlin, in the chase in Moscow . The scene in the Moscow supermarket was filmed at Kaiser's Berlin-Tempelhof, Germaniastraße (only the interior shots).
  • The scene in front of Moscow Airport was filmed in the taxi area of ​​the ICC Berlin , you can see the typical orange tiles and German no-parking signs.
  • When Bourne looks for the Neski daughter after his arrival in Moscow and questions a former neighbor in front of a house entrance, he is not in Moscow, but in Berlin's Scharrenstrasse. As he goes around the corner, the camera catches the Spree and diagonally opposite the Foreign Office (former Central Committee of the SED).
  • The scene in which Bourne takes a short rest on the autobahn on the way to Germany was filmed at the former West Berlin border crossing Checkpoint Bravo , you can see the typical bridge house in the background.
  • The scene in Naples in which Jason Bourne steals the BMW of the employee of the American Consulate was filmed in the parking lot in front of the north entrance of the Berlin exhibition center.
  • The scene in Amsterdam in which Nicky is picked up by the CIA was filmed in Berlin-Charlottenburg on Walter-Benjamin-Platz .
  • The bridge that Bourne crosses on the way from Naples to Munich is the Gschnitztalbrücke on the Brenner Autobahn on the Austrian side near Steinach am Brenner .
  • The sound of the Martinshorns of the police vehicles in Munich and Berlin partly does not correspond to the actual noise, but was accompanied by other noises (American police sirens).
  • Trains from Berlin arrive in Moscow at the Belarusian station . When the Moscow police arrive at the train station after Bourne had taken a taxi, the Kiev train station can be seen.
  • The scene in which Bourne runs away from German police officers in Berlin is confusing for those with local knowledge. First, Bourne studies the timetable for line S42 in front of Zoo station , which actually does not go there. A few shots later you can see him crossing Kantstrasse in the direction of the Zoo station, in front of which he was shortly before. Finally Bourne walks into the station building and immediately afterwards comes out on a pedestrian bridge at Friedrichstrasse station . However, the train stations are in different parts of the city.
  • The opening sequence of the film was shot in Palolem .

criticism

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Compared to the original book, the plot has been significantly changed and modernized: In the book, the allegedly shot by Bourne is not a CIA agent, but the Chinese prime minister. In addition, his great love Marie does not die in the original book and also plays an important role in the third part.

The Bourne Conspiracy was largely as positively received by critics and audiences as the first part of the series, with particular emphasis on the realistic plots and fight scenes as well as the acting performances. Matt Damon, for example, was certified to have given his character even more depth. The theme song of the first part, Extreme Ways by Moby , was used again and developed into the theme song.

"Effective thriller based on a model by Robert Ludlum, which only condenses in the beginnings of a reflection on identity and self-determination, while in the perfectly rhythmic chases it shows itself to be state-of-the-art in terms of camera aesthetics and editing."

- Lexicon of international film

“Matt Damon carries the second Bourne film just as confidently as the previous one. Acting management and dramaturgy are very good, but the camera and editing are so bad that viewers sometimes have to take their eyes off the screen. "
