The Bourne Ultimatum
2007
**½
Director: Paul Greengrass
Cast: Matt Damon, David Strathairn, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, Scott Glenn

In the end of The Bourne Supremacy, it seemed like Jason Bourne was heading back to his roots to learn who he really is, but his story hasn't moved forward. If anything, it feels like I'm watching the same movie for the third time. Once more Bourne wants to be left alone, but the CIA consider him a risk and want to capture/eliminate him, only for our hero to outrun and outwit everyone time and time again. Sure, the action scenes are fast and frequent, but they offer nothing I haven't seen in the previous two outings. The Bourne Legacy reboots the series and the hero himself returns in Jason Bourne.
