Bourngasm

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2007)

The crew of this movie as well as the excellent acting of Matt Damon have made this a Bourne to remember. I got chilly feelings down my spine when you see Jason, his face half in light and half in shadow, really bringing out his tormented side as he talks to the chick after the bathroom fight. Bourne totally rocks on the fight sequences, though his newfound altruistic feelings (he lets people live) did dampen my silent cheering during the movie. I wanted him to kill everyone as usual. (At least he got the guy in the bathroom.) I do feel that this movie had less of the wonderful edginess in the first two movies, which is an unwelcome change. The reason these earlier movies were such a success is that they captured Robert Ludlum's obsession with Bourne's inner struggle. If you don't believe me, try reading the books. The books are in my opinion too focused on Bourne's torment. It gets repetitive. But that torment makes for a great first two movies. The last movie is about Bourne finding himself at last. I have nothing against that, but a little more darkness would have been appreciated.
