Movie Review – The Bourne Ultimatum

Jason Bourne digs deeper to find out who he is and when get gets a lead, he tracks it down. This is made harder by the CIA trying to kill him and anyone who might help him find the truth.

Matt Damon returns as the super assassin Jason Bourne in the third and final installment of the series. The action is pretty much like the other two movies, fast, furious and pretty convincing. The fight scenes are often pretty shaky with the camera work but not to the extent of say, Spiderman.

Again, the supporting cast are outstanding with names such as Scott Glen,  David Strathairn and Albert Finney. While obvious comparisons are made between Bourne and Bond, perhaps a better comparison should be made between Bourne and Terminator, bot appear to be unstoppable, able to outwit everyone and look moody.

A very good ending to a brilliant series of movies, a series that not only has, hopefully, sparked interest in creating more movies with realist action and plots, but made Matt Damon into a very believable action figure.
