The Bourne Supremacy fits this list by effectively building on the foundation set by the previous film while introducing new layers of intrigue and action. The Paul Greengrass-directed movie follows Matt Damon's Jason Bourne, who emerges from hiding due to a failed CIA operation and a personal disaster. The sequel deepens the exploration into Bourne's past and his search for resolution and heightens it with furious kinetic action.
