The Bourne Ultimatum


The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) R

Jason continues his search of who he was and how he became the man he is.


A direct continuation to previous film The Bourne Ultimatum does maintain very much the same style as its predecessor. There's little less story in it but quite a bit more chase sequences (little too much in my opinion). Camera doesn't feel just as restless and shaky as in Supremacy (a positive thing).

I think that first two films did better job in involving Bourne into the action. Ultimatum is little more personal in this regard which isn't a bad in thing in itself but suffers from the fact that the angle was mostly omitted in the previous film. I like how connection between Jason and Nicky is suggested and hopefully it'll be opened more in the fifth film (I haven't seen Jason Bourne).

Action is good this time (the fight with Algiers asset is probably the best fight of the series) and despite of going overboard with the quantity the quality of the chases is great as well. Damon is still very good as Bourne and there aren't any major complaints about the supporting cast either. Slightly worse than the second film but still very solid agent action.
