Smart and fast-paced.

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2007)

The Bourne movies always deliver and they get better each time. This third installment is even better than its predecessor on many levels. The action sequences are spectacular, the drama and storyline are well presented and the characterisation is quality writing and top notch performances.
The only downside of this movie, as I would've given it a 9/10, is the decision by Greengrass to shoot the film on a very shaky hand-held camera style. The actions and settings of this movie are already well planned and executed. The shaky camera trick however reduces the coherence and clarity of these scenes. It does add a feeling of disorientation and rush to the whole movie, perhaps much like what Jason Bourne himself would be feeling throughout the ordeals.
However, it defeats the purpose of planning and executing such brilliant action and drama sequences. You can hardly follow what is going on, as the camera jolts, jumps and cuts sideways and from different angles often.
Other than that, this movie rocks!
