If you loved the last two, your gonna love this one. This is an intelligent, soild action movie with characters and a story which is genuinely captavating. This has the best fight scenes out of the three movies, but the car chase isn't as good as the last one. However, this is the best film in the series and the supporting cast are top class, its nice to see a film which has proper actors, with a visionary director who doesn't need to rely on CGI to tell the story. By far the best film of the summer, if not the year.
If you want a really thought-provoking spy thriller youre better off watching The Spy Who Came In From the Cold or The Ipcress File. However, The Bourne Supremacy passed a couple of hours and was entertaining viewing. The film needs to be seen on the back of the first two - if you havent watched them you could be a little confused even though the story isnt that complex. Matt Damon is again fairly convincing as the highly trained killer who seeks to find the truth behind the machinations of his bosses but I felt that his perplexed frustration wasnt played strongly enough to carry that element of the story.
Paul Greengrasss direction was assured and cohesive, particularly in the fight and chase set-pieces but there was little else get your teeth into - certainly not if you were expecting anything cerebral from the film. Nevertheless, it was non-stop, edge-of-the-seat stuff that had me riveted despite the rather flaccid ending. So, if this is up your strasse - watch it and be entertained.
There is no ultimatum in The Bourne Ultimatum. Nevertheless, this may be the ultimate Bourne. It certainly feels like the end of the road, even if Universal will be desperate to persuade Matt Damon otherwise. Kicking off where The Bourne Supremacy left off, with the rogue spy limping out of Moscow, the movie initially seems intent on replaying part two. Bourne's ex-CIA paymasters aren't prepared to let sleeping dogs lie, especially when this one appears to be connected to a Guardian reporter (P Read more
