The action-adventure espionage genre is Re-Bourne!

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2007)

This has been the most anticipated summer release of 2007. Those who were disappointed by FF2 and SPIDERMAN 3 have gotten an emotional shot-in-the-arm with BOURNE ULTIMATUM. And, the contents of that injection are pure adrenaline!
The movie takes up almost immediately where it left off. With Jason having confessed his sins to the Nevskis' orphaned daughter, and then escaping from the Moscow police after some kind of suppressed memory flashback.
Then, six weeks later, he reads about himself and something code-named "Blackbriar" in a London scandal rag. Right away, he knows the CIA will probably have the reporter who wrote the story under surveillance, and slips the guy an unmonitored cellphone bought at an open-air vending booth!
That the reporter gets killed anyway is due more to the latter panicking than anything else. But, Jason manages to confiscate the reporter's little black book and finds the probable source of the story in Madrid.
It's there that he meets CIA cyber-nerd Nikki Parsons, yet again!!!
And, here, we get a somewhat startling revelation. She and Jason might have had a thing going, back in his original identity. Whoa! Makes me almost sad they didn't get to actively rekindle it. Yet, the pain of Marie Kreutz's death is obviously still too recent to get over. Tastefully done, on the writers' part.
After that, comes the much-talked about Moroccan roof chase and the NYC car chase. In between, Pamela Landy learns about the true extent of Operation: Blackbriar's activities...and Bourne's real name. Nicely spliced in from the epilogue of the second movie, by the way.
I don't normally leave this long-winded a review. That goes to show you how much I loved this flick! The only reason I don't give this a perfect ten, however? They edited out my favorite line from the previews. The one where Pam is describing Jason to Blackbriar's armchair agents.
"He's very good at staying alive. And, trying to kill him--and failing--just pisses him off!"
