One fun, if too let down, ultimatum

Rating: 6/10 (2 October 2009)

It's great to see Matt Damon once again as Jason Bourne, the hero in Robert Ludlum's series of books, and although it gets marred eventually, it's still a thrill to watch him in action, kicking butt and taking names. This time, Bourne, who's not having a good day, is chased around Paris, Germany, and a whole bunch of other countries by the CIA, who assume he's a threat to the country and want him dead A.S.A.P. Worse, he's the pawn (or at least his identity is) of another assassinating's plot, and must make a run for it, eventually leading him to New York, his home, to confront the ones who changed his identity and forced him to become what he is today. It's also great to see most of the cast back from the other Bourne movies, including Joan Allen as Pamela Landy, who's attempting to take over the "manhunt", Julia Stiles as Nicky Parsons, the woman involved in Bourne's plan to flee, and David Strathairn, as Noah Vosen, whom we eventually learn set up the plan to kill the innocent Bourne. It's wonderful, kick-ass entertainment, especially if you're having a really boring night. P.S. Are they going to make any more Bourne movies?
