The Bourne Ultimatum


A great film, and the best out of the three Bourne movies that actually feature Jason Bourne.  They managed to fit in multiple breathtaking action scenes wrapped around a tight plot.  It starts off with a bang and carries the momentum throughout the whole film, it just never slows down or drag along.  It manages to keep your attention for the whole way.  There were various events that were so well done, where the action was intense and the atmosphere was filled with tension and suspense.  You would hold your breath until it's over.  The plot is easier to understand than it's predecessors.  You can't help but notice how a few of the scenes allude to to similar scenes in the previous movies, which feels odd (especially the one where Landy tells Bourne his 'real' birth date).  There are a few stunts where you can't help but think how Bourne survives relatively intact.  You would have expected he'll sustain at least some debilitating injuries and won't recover that fast.  I can't help but love the score used in the film, especially the one used for the chases (not sure if that is the theme or not but it's distinctive).
