Script review - "The Bourne Supremacy" (2003) by Tony Gilroy and Brian Hegeland

Pulsating, gripping action script - not just by Gilroy, apparently, but a few hands. This one ends with Bourne captured - then he escapes. Did that happen in the novel? I can't remember if it did. The bit where Bourne does a mea culpa to the girl whose parents he killed seemed to work better on the page than it did in the movie, from memory... though my memory is hazy. Love the descriptions of things and the way it's put together. It really is one long chase though, with some stock twists (OMG the baddy is the head baddy, etc)
