Bourne Ultimatum
Brilliant. What a ride this movie is! Holy cow. It starts right from the word go and doesn’t let up. There are a couple of opportunities to catch your breath but basically you just have to grab hold and hang on for all you’re worth. There are some spectacular set pieces which I’m not going to describe as you really do need to see them unspoiled to experience the full impact. Matt Damon rang true as JB and the supporting cast was firing on all cylinders. I especially liked Joan Allen. A smart, strong female character who isn’t sold short by the script. Whatever next, women in movies as human beings?
The whole movie is nicely underpinned by a very moral compass and you just have to read the newspaper to see how corrupting ‘playing by the bad guy’s rules’ can be.
