THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

Why cant I be that badass?

Jason Bourne. Yes, he’s back again, and he hasn’t slowed down a bit. The Bourne Ultimatum is the third installment of this heart pounding series that in no way disappoints. From start to finish this film keeps you on the edge of your seat. Every shaky camera shot and each fist to the face is outright engrossing. The direction is done in a way that is very analogous to the other films in the series.

The Bourne Ultimatum moves quickly. Starting the film mid-action was a good choice. It gets you right into things as well as giving you the feeling of not really remembering what happened before. This is so appropriate when you think about the story of Jason Bourne. Matt Damon does a great job of keeping this character consistent throughout the series. And his execution of the action sequences is impressive. The director, Paul Greengrass, had experience forming this intense action from also directing The Bourne Supremacy. They both have done it again to tell a genuinely engaging story.

If you have seen any of the previous Bourne films or just enjoy a good movie I would recommend The Bourne Ultimatum. It is an edge of your seat thriller with a great cast including the superb actress Joan Allen. Jason Bourne is one badass character and he keeps you totally entertained.
