A Kick ass Movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2014)

Puzzled and accepting to the violence to which he is inclined to Matt Damon Returns for another go round as Jason Bourne, the unstoppable killing machine exhibiting his bizarre but rewarding skill set. This Third installment of Bourne Ultimatum is the most satisfying action film to be added to the Bourne Trilogy. With Bourne on the run again, the film once again creates a fast pace action thriller that "keeps you on the edge of your seats from start to finish"(Keating). Bourne is finally setting out for revenge against the renegade leaders of Blackbriar who are constantly sending other, less qualified of course, assassins to neutralize him. With the help of an England reporter writing an expose about the company; Bourne is revealed to new information regarding his life that has been in the dark and with this torment roaming through his mind he finally goes after Blackbriar for it all the content that was once wiped from his memory. Matt Damon has become the icon for Jason Bourne through his charismatic embrace of the role. Damon's modest style is the key to why the Bourne movies have been a retreat from other blockbuster action films. Unfettered from the usual computer-generated effects of explosions in other cliché action films, He's has succeeded in bringing the genre of action thrillers back down to earth with a realistic and emotional touch. The Bourne Ultimatum, directed, by Paul Greengrass, continues the story of the brainwashed and memory swiped hero trying to find his identity. He has evolved form his thoughtless killing machine to his more conscientious master of resources. Although still struggling to remember his past, Bourne is constantly given flashbacks and clues to his true and original identity. The article that brings Bourne out of hiding reveals information regarding Jason Bourne, himself coexisting with the top secret CIA operations of Blackbriar and its Leader. Of course with this information arising the leader of black briar, David Strathairn, finds it very dangerous and does all his power to keep Bourne in the dark along with killing the reporter digging into his company. This doesn't do anything but feeds Bourne's hunger for wanting to find out more about the company along with his identify. With all this set into motion, the Bourne Ultimatum turns into an exquisite, mind boggling chase coinciding with high-speed car chases to public shootouts and intense hand-to-hand combat. While you are taken form scene to scene, danger constituently arises but the pacing is astonishing. Greengrass keeps this forward motion towards its conclusion at the perfect speed so that you aren't struggling to put pieces of the story together. The script also helps deliver the information the viewers need to receive promptly but also clearly before the film moves into the next fast pace action scene. Matt Damon also does a fantastic job by drawing focus on the urgency that helps the film constantly move forward allowing viewers to set back and be pulled along by his adventurous life. Without his threatening skills and charismatic personality the film would not have its sense of danger that it does. Damon adds the most important part of Bourne which is the since of urgency. Because Bourne is constantly being tracked and sought after by lethal assassins, the tone and body language along with facial expressions all provide a clear representation that he has no time to waste. It will be hard for viewers to forget the infamous lines of "Run Jason! RUN!"(Ebert) that confirms that Bourne has not time to sit around. While kicking ass and taking names Damon always seems to keep a calm and collected disposition. He appears to always know what next move is best and makes the decisions within a blink of an eye. Damon Also sits you down and let the action of the movie assault you. Instead of using futile punch lines and senseless techniques of destruction, all and every thing he does is discrete and requires more skill then blowing up C4 making the intense action scene in the movie more rewarding. The Bourne trilogy is one that precisely captures the Dangerous lifestyle we all wish to live along with the uncertainties of our Generations Government. Bourne Ultimatum is the peak of the trilogy and overall, the film is a fulfilling conclusion to Bourne's exciting and prolonged mystery not only to the fans but also to Jason Bourne Himself.
