The Bourne Ultimatum

The Movie:
e
I suppose somewhere along the strets of Moscow, high-rising in New York, navigating through Waterloo Staion, Torino or the rooftops of Tangiers, decifering the machinations, maneuverings and scheming (fictitious or genuine) of the CIA, surviving computer searches, telephone eavesdropping, superman-like roof jumps, shrieking motor-scooter rides, heightened-hype of whirlwind photography heightening endless car chases and crashes, blasting bombs, gun shots and the cacophony of the sound track, there was a storyline… Indeed, after all the “action” there really was not much of the script left to demand any sort of great acting… In the entire movie there was ONE scene with two funny lines, the rest (for me) was filler… Even so I left the theatre with some degree of satisfaction… The bad guys got what was coming, Jason Bourne recovered his true identity, and as David Webb survived… But if there are to be future sequels I suggest they give him time for a cup of coffee…
