For what it’s worth...a movie review
My scale: 1 through 10; 1 being Ishtar and 10 being Gone With The Wind
The Bourne Ultimatum
Woooo!! What a ride!!! The Bourne series is one of my favorites of that genre. I say I’m not an action flix kind of girl, but truth is, I guess I am! As always, the Bourne films are fast, smart and definitely keep you on the edge of you seat! I must remember to go potty before these movies starts so I don’t miss a thing! Anyway...
Matt Damon as Jason Bourne seems much older in this 3rd in the series. More focused, more determined and driven by sadness. He always makes me wonder where he’s been sleeping and if he ever eats! There is certain innocence about Matt Damon in this role that I don’t think any other actor could bring with such honesty.
David Strathairn’s Noah Vasen is brilliant. You just want to cut him off at the knees and say ‘you think you’re so tough!’, and walk away with his palm pilot!
Julia Stiles is back as Nicky Parsons who hints of a past with Jason Bourne, hoping he’ll remember just a moment of their past. We hope right along with her...
Dr. Albert Hirsch is played by Albert Finney. He is at his evil best. To be honest, I thought Albert Finney died....sorry Al...
Joan Allen is Pamela Landy once again and I still don’t like her. I guess you’re not suppose to, she just give me the creeps...Her lips are thin and she wears her lipstick past her lip line. Come on, Joanie, they do close ups, do you think we won’t notice? Whatever.....
Director Paul Greengrass and Editor Christopher Rouse are either brilliant or insane!!! The camera work would in any other film drive me nuts, but the choppy, bumpy, jerky movements are the look this piece. It keeps you trying to focus on what’s going on because honestly, you have no idea!!! That’s the beauty of Bourne; you never really know what’s what but you don’t ever want to admit it!!! There I just admitted it, I never really knew what the heck was going on, and I didn’t care!
The car chase is the best ever filmed. Driving home down Lemon Ave. I found myself looking around every corner making sure Jason wasn’t dodging bullets from Monrovia’s finest! I was glad to reach home safely to my very own driveway!
This is not the best of the Bourne series, but it is the best edge-of-your-seat in the series. Bourne Identity is still my favorite. And Julia Stiles hair? I loved it!!!!!
I give this film an 8 ½...Bourne Identity a 9 and Bourne Supremacy an 8 ½. I gave the new Die Hard a 9 ½. They say this is the last of the Bourne series....but is it? I don’t think so...............
