Maybe the BEST action movie ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2007)

This 3rd Bourne is the best of the 3 and I give Identity a 9/10 and SUPREMACY a 10/10.
This movie starts huge and never ever lets up. It is smartly cast, beautifully performed (CAN WE GET SOME Oscar NOMS for Matt Damon and Joan Allen?), breathlessly paced, wonderfully shot/filmed and intelligently scripted and on and on and on.
The Bourne movies have really separated themselves from the rest of pack (save for the last Bond film which wisely echoed a Bourne film), because we care intensely about this deeply complex man. I don't find myself exactly rooting, er, cheering (sorry Aussie film nuts), for him. He has done some very nasty things. Nevertheless Bourne is unequivocally one of the most memorable characters in cinematic history.
And what new superlatives can we use to praise Paul Greengrass? His last 4 films have been BLOODY Sunday, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, last year's best movie UNITED 93 and now this one. Greengrass is at the top of his field by a clear margin. Just when you think movies can't get anymore exciting along comes ULTIMATUM and it is never at the expense of the human drama. The new DIE HARD, TRANSFORMERS and 300 had some amazing set pieces in them but this film's action slays anything in those movies. It is almost too much.
I just hope Oscar finally rewards his work and his movies. "They" really missed it last year with 93. BUT then again I don't care because I had a GREAT time watching this 3rd Bourne.
THANK YOU PAUL GREENGRASS, Matt Damon and everyone else involved in the production of this movie --you too, Moby.
