The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
“The Bourne Ultimatum” is the latest and final movie in the “Bourne” trilogy. Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne, a super-agent built up through tough times, and rough training. Bourne goes rogue as he no longer feels following assassination orders is the right thing to do. After months of running from the CIA and various other organizations, Bourne pops back onto the radar as he starts to try to reveal his past, all he knows is that he is a member of “Treadstone” and he was the only agent created in it.
Jason Bourne is determined to find out his true roots. He notices a newspaper editor has been writing about him, so Bourne comes out of hiding to meet him and discovers that his journalist is already on the CIA’s hit list, mainly due to the fact that he knows too much about Bourne and Treadstone.
After much action and many explosions, Jason Bourne will find out who he really is. You come to know his real name, the intentions of “Black briar” mentioned in The Bourne Identity and how Jason Bourne is killed… not During the movie we find out that Bourne is actually a human, and he does have feelings for everything that he does. He even mentions that he can’t remember the faces of those he has killed, and that he regrets killing them - He admits this to Nicky, an old friend from Treadstone.
The movie keeps suspense constantly running high in the room. In more than one instance you are sitting on the edge of your seat hoping for Jason to make it through. For example the time you first see an “Asset” try to assassinate both Bourne and the Journalist or when you watch Bourne chase down an “Asset” (Super-Agents similar to Bourne, buy obviously in-superior). Once an “Asset” drops a bag to run away, Bourne tells the car behind him (he was protecting the documents inside) to stop, as the bag would explode, Bourne looks straight into the “Asset’s” eyes. The “Asset” seems to be staring towards the scooter bike he just got off, and Bourne goes to warn the driver, and the bike explodes right beside Bourne and the vehicle.
There aren’t many special effects in the giant-explosion category, but there are definitely some nice explosions. The movie features subtle effects and manages to pull it off in a slick-way. The fight scenes are fantastic, ranging from Bourne simply owning a few guards, to stealthily taking a man down, to the epic-long fight-scene against an “Asset” who seems to have similar. The ending does leave you wanting more though, and although it does leave room for sequels, Matt Damon has said he will not do a “Bourne” movie for at least 20 years.
