Movie Review: The Bourne Ultimatum


Have you ever been exhausted after watching a movie? You will be after seeing The Bourne Ultimatum. This movie is full of non stop action right from the beginning! Great fights, car chases... you name it, Jason Bourne (or is he Jason Bourne??? hmmm) is going to kick some ass. Matt Damon reprises his role in this highly successful movie series, which leads off not too far after where The Bourne Supremecy left off. It is safe to say that you do need to see the first two movies to follow along with the major plot line. Jason Bourne keeps the CIA on its toes all over the world with his survival skills and wit. There are many times you think that there is no way a person can survive all the things that Bourne goes through, but you have to remember that these are the reasons people enjoy coming back to see the same character over and over and over again. Once you can move past that, the fight scenes and car chases are very well shot, the story is a new twist on an old character and the cast, both returning and new actors, hold their own.
No word on if there will be a fourth Bourne film, but Matt Damon has been quoted as saying if that do make one, they should call it "The Bourne Redundancy." Maybe skip the 4th movie when it comes out, but definitely check out Ultimatum on the big screen.
Bourne Ultimatum: 4.5 fake passports, tapped cell phones and sharpshooter assassins out of 5.
