a 2 hour film over 80 % action scenes

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2007)

This film is only BASED on Robert Ludlum's third part of his trilogy. It is nearly all chase scenes in many cities around the world.
The acting is OK, BUT whats missing is the character development of Jason (we find out his real name towards the end of the film..
For some reason only known to the writers, They killed off Jason's wife (Bourne Conspiracy).In the books, she was a vital important character & aide. Now we only have Jason & those against him.
Matt Damon does quite well as Jason,It however is not the same Jason.
The production credits are all first rate,BUT I wish they can hold the hand help cameras better.The editing is overly fast & furious,no scene lasts more than a few seconds,even the fantastic chase scene in Tangiers must have had about 50 different set ups.
If my rating seems too high, its just that I did enjoy the movie, I just was hoping it would be better
There will be a part 4 this ends in s partial cliffhanger.
There is another book THE BOURNE LEGACY which is an excellent conclusion. I hope the film MOST of the book & tell all the facts of this interesting character, & SPOILER ALERT
We meet this fascinating assassin who just may be related to Jason. BUT I just doubt they would be so daring & do that.
