The third film in the Jason Bourne movies is a great movie. A great capper to the trilogy and a great movie in its own right. It features non-stop action and edge of your seat tension throughout. Matt Damon once again delivers in the role of Jason Bourne who in this movie is out to search for those in charge of making him into who he is today.
I really like these movies because they are filled with action and intrigue. The action is always realistic and makes you feel like you're right in there with Bourne. The action in this movie is so realistic, that if you sit too close to the screen you're liable to get motion sickness. Seriously. The car chases are amazing and some of the best ever filmed in my opinion. The fight scenes are quite incredible too. In fact, there is one fight scene where Bourne is taking out another assasin who is working for the people of Treadstone. The fight is realistic and fantastical all at the same time. They use whatever they have at their disposal to fight including a magazine.
This movie also manages to break in a little humor to lighten things up a bit too. Not a lot, but enough. Damon delivers a few one liners and they come at just the right moment to get the audience going. Don't get me wrong this isn't a laugh fest, but just enough humor to allow you to let go of the intense moments for a few.
Paul Greengrass once again directs this movie and delivers. The acting isn't great, but all the actors acquit themselves well starting first and foremost with Damon. I can't imagine anyone else playing this role, which is odd, because I could never imagine him doing this role when he first started it. The rest of the ensemble which includes Joan Allen, Albert Finney and Julia Stiles, is top notch. And Greengrass while delivering fantastic action and suspense, still manages to tell a full story and keep the audience thinking. I appreciate that fact the most. It's not all spoon fed to us.
I would go and see another Bourne adventure, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is it for awhile. And if it is, they went out with a bang.
