A Very Good Action-Thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2008)

I really like the Bourne Trilogy and is one of the few film trilogies that work on all three instalments. I really like Bond films and spy films in general and the good thing about this series was it forced Bond to change and make the excellent Casino Royale.
This film was easily the best blockbuster in 2007 and the best out of all the threequels that year.
The basic plot is Jason Bourne is still looking for his identity and is out for revenge against the C.I.A who had taken his life away from him. The film shows that an black-ops division known as Blackfaire which does all the C.I.A's dirty work such as training agents like Bourne, spying on anyone they think is a threat to America and even assassin people. This includes a British journalist in the middle of Waterloo station and American citizens. Bourne goes on a personal mission taking him to London, Madrid, Tangiers and New York. The plot is pretty complex and you will need to watch the Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy before watching this film.
They is great action in the film, especially the fight and chase scene in Tangiers. But what makes it different to other action films is they is a good plot and a heart to it. It shows the black side of the C.I.A: this is because the director Paul Greengrass is politically left-wing and very happy to show it. It is also different because it shows an American institution as the bad guy and questions it morales, compared to say 24 which it shows that the American would be very willing to torture people because they feel the end just justifies the means and that it would get information quickly. They are still guy characters within the C.I.A such as Pamela Landy and Nicky Parson.
They is good casting in this film, it help make Matt Damon from a decent actor to an action star, Julia Stiles best films and they are many other good actors in the film. This film easily plugs the gap until Quantum of Solace comes out this year. One thing I do worry about is talks of a sequel, which I don't know how they would do it.
