Outrageously exciting film consisting of one chase scene after another

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2007)

This Bourne film is just as exciting as its two predecessors in the series. However, the production values continue to rise, and the chase scene on foot through small flats, rooms, and lanes in Tangier may be the best choreographed foot chase scene ever. It is really astonishing. There is not a second's rest in this relentless film where everybody is after poor old Jason Bourne - AGAIN! Matt Damon as Jason Bourne certainly has no need of a dialogue coach, as he never speaks, especially to women, he just looks and runs. But then, when they are after you, who has time for a chat? It has to be admitted that the thread of storyline upon which all these films are based is running very thin indeed by now. How long can this guy's amnesia last? He hasn't known who he is for three films now. Then it all comes back to him, as events reach their dramatic climax. Although we are set up for yet another sequel, at least next time he will know he is called David Webb and not Jason Bourne. But what will the title of that one be? 'The Webb Supremacy'? 'All Tangled Up'? These films are all based on Robert Ludlum novels. He's a clever chap. But we need to get a new angle on this hero now, so that in the next one when everybody is after him, it's for a different reason. I've got it: he has amnesia about Jason Bourne now, and can't remember the previous three films! Copyright 2007 by yours truly. Voyez mon Agent, as they say in Paris.
