Bourne yet again!

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2007)

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007) *** Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, Albert Finney. Crowd-pleasing final chapter (or is it?) in the amnesiac assassin CIA op Jason Bourne (Damon reprising his iconic role with élan) zeroing in on how he became the person he was  and more importantly who he was before he became that way  with his globe-trotting to come to full closure by any means necessary. Reunited with director Paul Greengrass, who incorporates his vertigo-inducing camera-work by Oliver Wood and nausea-inducing hyperkinetic editing by Christopher Rouse and a crackling good screenplay by Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns and Tony Gilroy cappers off Robert Ludlum's laconic/empathetic killing machine with skill and verve (and one helluva NYC based car chase).
