The Bourne Ultimatum
Jason Bourne is a C.I.A. special program agent who doesn’t remember much of his past. As often happens, our hero wants to escape from his past and live with the love of his life! Sounds original? No. Not a bit! However the Bourne series, are far better than any other series of this kind, like XXX or MI2. Can’t be compared with James Bond because it’s a totally different story plus the fact that Britain’s most famous secret agent is just cult.
What makes Jason Bourne special though is the different approach of the series. Although the action is not missing, the plot is easier to believe and follow without judging the lack of realism in every aspect of the movie. The Bourne Ultimatum the last movie of the series, was a bit better of the other two at the first half and worst at the second. The fact that Bourne escapes in the last scene by talking to a killer and making him have a moral crisis was a bit out of place, to say the least. There will be a fourth movie for sure, because Bourne Ultimatum leaves unanswered questions about the relationship between him and Nicky Parsons, which appeared in the second movie as well.
Another aspect that I find very fascinating about Bourne is that he is the absolute killer. He rarely hesitates, although he admits that dislikes being a killing machine. Again he rarely shows signals of difficulty even when dealing with levelled killers. It’s not, to say like, suffering and bleeding until the end. He just thinks clear and acts quickly. In every situation the hero shows the same, absolutely brilliant, qualities. Most similar movies show a week spot at the main characters skills to give him a hard time at the end of the movie. Bourne is not like that. Maybe it’s just the acting skills of Mat Demon that makes the difference here. I can’t tell. I like him, especially in this movie and I generally consider him a very good actor.
What I like so much about these silly, you may think, action movies is the perception of the world. You see the scenario taking place in so many different places that makes the entire world look small. It gives you the sense of freedom and adventure. It’s the most fascinating aspect for me. Travelling around the world lightweight powered only with technology. Of course it’s a movie and you get only the romantic aspect of travelling. Not jet lags, no broken phone lines, no side effects. Well, it may be naive, but I still like idea of holding the world in your palm.
