This is where it started and this is where it ends for me.
Bourne Ultimatum, the third chapter of the Jason Bourne saga is a thrilling cat and mouse chase.
The music is pounding - the movie's pace is relentless with few respites as Jason Bourne continuously dodges detection and evades lethal killers from the agency. But which agency? Who and the good guys and the bad guys?
Treadstone may have been laid to rest by the second installment of the Jason Bourne franchise but something else has arisen. And all the while a reporter for an English newspaper is writing published stories about the mystery that is Jason Bourne. A mystery that Jason Bourne himself is trying to solve for himself as he tries to unlock his past.
You really don't remember anything?
Right from the start the style of Bourne Ultimatum is different as Bourne is already on the run - somewhere in Moscow, evidently injured. The chase spans four continents as Bourne played doggedly by Matt Damon haunted by memories of Marie Kreutz from the first and second chapters tries to find the truth and the truth tries to dodge Bourne - and somewhere in the middle Joan Allen's Pam Landy is the focal point between what is right and what is deemed necessary. The ever brilliant David Strathairn [ from the TIFF of the past in Blue Car, The Notorious Bettie Page and the nomination for Good Night and Good Luck) discovers that Jason Bourne has arisen and immediately sees him as a deadly threat to the agency - and to his own career. If Bourne ever finds out the truth ...
Bourne Ultimatum raises the bar for personal action thrillers which culminates in a they did it right finish [ or is it ? ]
This is where it ends.
