Bourne Again

Bourne Ultimatum reviewed...in 100 words or less

Fucking. Awesome. Better than “Supremacy,” equal to “Identity.” Finally, something worth admission prices.

Damon phenomenal. Stone cold, stoic, determined, struggling to find humanity while facing most highly trained killers yet. Always 3 steps ahead. Super-creative weaponry. Best. Role. Ever.

National secrets revealed. Personal secrets retold. Rogue intelligence agency uncovered. Treadstone meets Blackbriar. Joan Allen vs. David Strathairn. Julia Stiles hotter with age. Interesting character situation. Pre-Marie affair? Still a weak actress.

Greengrass creates excitement from nothingness. Character development overlooked, action a touch overblown. Heart-pumping, pulse racing footage. First movie in years I’d see a 2nd time. “Legacy” coming next!

Grade: solid A

you have to rent them because you haven't seen them or because you wanted to see them again? if it's the former then you shouldn't have been permitted in the theater. glad you liked it though. easily one of the best i've seen in recent memory.
