The Bourne Ultimatum

Jason Bourne is back, and he's trying to find out who he really is. He's also trying to figure out why he was chosen to participate in a CIA run program that's supposed to protect American lives. As in the previous two movies Bourne finds himself being chased all over the world. This time Bourne is being chased by an assassin, who was hired by the CIA to kill him. In this movie Bourne begins his journey in Moscow, and eventually returns to New York to find the place where his training began.

The chase scenes are the best parts of the movie, and in this movie they happen frequently. It seems that Bourne is always on the run. Whether he's jumping from one roof top to the next, riding a motorcycle, or driving a car Jason always seems to find a way to escape, even if he has to fight his way out.

I can't help but feel sorry for the people who are trying to stop Bourne. In spite of all their high tech gadgets, Bourne always manages to stay one step ahead of them. One of major conflicts in the movie is between Pamela Landy and Noah Vosen. Pamela doesn't want to kill Bourne, he thinks that only wants to know the truth. Noah on the other hand wants Bourne dead.

Will Jason learn what his true identity is? I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that the ending leaves an opening for a fourth movie. I hope there is one, because I'd defiantly want I watch it.

If you enjoy watching action packed, suspense filled movies, then you'll like The Bourne Ultimatum is the movie for you. It's one of the best movies of year.

I give this movie a 9 out of 10.
