Bourne Ultimatum - Hope it's not the last one in the sequel!! Want more of them!

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2007)

If you've watched the first two 'Bourne' movies, you'd enter the theater expecting to see thrilling and frenetic hide-and-seek games between the CIA and Jason Bourne - a game where CIA is always dumbfounded by Bourne's evasive skillsI walked into the movie hall with the same expectation along with hundreds of other Bourne fans and what we got was way better than we expected! To say in one line - Bourne Ultimatum is a superbly directed movie What I have always loved about Bourne movies is the simplicity  no high tech gadgetry, fancy looking objects/cars and distracting beauties which is also the fact why I don't prefer the Bond moviesWell back to Mr. 'IceCool' Bourne nowhere's the plot.
Simon Ross (Paddy Considine), a reporter has written an article about Jason Bourne (do I need to say who's playing Jason Bourne  'course Matt Damon) in a British newspaper, which, Jason reads and hence wants to meet Simon Ross to find his Simon's) source. This would help Jason know who he really is and the people behind his making  the making of the identity of Jason BourneCIA Deputy Directory, Noah Vosen (David Straithairn) and his team are after Simon Ross when Simon mentions the word "BlackBriar" while talking to his boss on cell phone. Jason and Simon meet at one of the busiest stations in London  Waterloo (one of my favorite scenes in the movie). CIA catches Bourne helping Ross on CCTVNoah Vosen calls upon the Bourne specialist  Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) to their team for hunting down Bourne. and thus ensues a thrilling chase between CIA and Jason Bourne.
As always, the movie cuts back and forth between CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia and some remote corners of Europe and North Africa where Bourne is hidingrather running around for clues. The chases are well directed and entertaining. The one in Tangiers, Morocco is some chase as we are reminded of the super human skills and amazing fitness of one Mr Jason Bourne. Helping Jason Bourne this time is a CIA agent - Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles)The ending scene from Bourne Supremacy is linked up quite brilliantly in Bourne Ultimatum where Jason Bourne calls Pamela Landy. At the end of the call, she tells Jason Bourne, his real name and birth date. Only in Bourne Ultimatum do we realize what she said was not what she really meant in Bourne Supremacy! Believe me when you get it, you will be more than startledI won't spoil it by writing the 'startling' thing watch the movie for it. I am sure Bourne fans would come out of the theater, dazed and amazed. Just a recommendation  Watch "Bourne Supremacy" again before this one. It will add more to the entertainment factor. Rating 8.5/10 As for me, I am planning to see it one more time at least and also can't wait to lay my hands on the DVD Box set release of "The Jason Bourne Collection".
Till then!
Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
