Good ending to a superb series

Rating: 7/10 (17 September 2007)

Everything that has a beginning has an end. Five years after the release of The Bourne Identity Jason Bourne comes back to the screen to finish the story by coming full circle. The story of this one picks up where part two ended: Bourne is on the run, chased by the agency that trained him and several other. Bourne still wants to find out who he truly is and who made him into what he is now.
Being a third part in a series means the film doesn't have to "waste" time on explaining new characters and their place in the story and that's why it can let itself start of the easy way - full throttle action. And it does this well. In fact, it never lets go of the throttle, it just keeps rolling on and doesn't allow itself to take a breather. The sequences used are good, high adrenalin based and building a good tension field that lasts till the very end. The storyline isn't breached too much by plot holes (only a few marginal ones really) and things done aren't too impossible which makes the film a highly enjoyable.
Not the best in the series, but a very worthy closing chapter to the series. Amusing to watch once and watch again when the DVD release is done. Personally I will be waiting for a trilogy release that I assume will be coming sometime in the future - these films belong together and deserve to be watched back-to-back as one long running feature.
