In this third installment we find Matt Damon's character of Jason Bourne again on the run. We follow him thru streets and along roof tops of some of Europe's best know cities- Moscow, London, Turin, and Madrid as he runs and fights for his life in this 2 hr film. He's been target for elimination by Noah Vosen (David Strathairn), the director of the US office of the CIA. Pam Landy (Joan Allen) is brought into the operation. She starts to question the 'kill order' but senses that something isn't right, that someone's controlling Noah. Meanwhile Jason is starting to remember pieces of his past; nameless faces, unknown places, and torture. Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) pops up in Europe. She decides to help Jason and becomes a target of the CIA herself. In one of the better edge-of-your-seat chases, Jason has to save Nicky and fight off the killer who's skill match his. All the memories and clues lead Jason back to New York City and the CIA office. As Jason closes in on his memories, the assassin goes after him in one of the best car chases thru the streets of NYC. Bourne picks up an ally who may lead him to the answers, he just has to survive. The look on Nicky's face as she watches the news report on TV of this battle says a lot. Go see Jason deliver his Ultimatum.
