It’s rare for a sequel to be any good. I’ve enjoyed all the Bourne films but i didn’t think the second was quite up to the standards of the first. So when i saw that Paul Greengrass was the director again i didn’t hold much hope, but i was proven wrong.
Jason Bourne is coming home and it fucking rocks.
In what i hope is not the final installment of the Bourne films, Jason tries to find out where it all started. It’s absolutely loaded with action from start to finish. The Bourne films are renowned for there car chases and The Ultimatum delivers the best of all three. There is also a truly amazing on foot chase through the streets and buildings of Tangier. Credit to the director for making the on foot chase…well…a chase. There is none of the free running crap that seems to plague action films these days.
Bournes arsenal of weapons also counties to grow, the most notable addiction in this film is a book. Yep, a book. I wont spoil the scene for you but i for one will make sure i have a book in my room from now on. This is a ‘Smart Action” film and they can be made or broken by the leads love interest. A plot can be destroyed by a 10 minute sex scene (sorry I’m over puberty i don’t care for it when people still need killing). Paul Greengrass chooses only to hint at the feelings between Bourne and Nicky Parsons, It truly is a near perfect action film.
The film ended with me on the edge of my seat, which is rare. I was actually worried about Bourne, but a cheeky smile soon appeared on my face which was shortly backed up by a cheeky one from Nicky Parsons. I’ll leave you to find out why ;).
I can’t rate this film enough, GO SEE IT NOW…no really go now.

I couldn’t agree more. Both the fighting and chase scenes was really well done in this, what was really surprising was also the LACK of guns.. Almost no shooting done by our superhero here, which I found to be really refreshing.
