"The Bourne Ultimatum" is probably the best big budget action film I have seen since Daniel Craig"s debut as James Bond. It is fast, brutal, playful, visually stylish (suitably slick and cold), kind-of clever (in the way action films are) and most importantly of all, it does not (really) romanticize / sentimentalize its violent hero or the world he inhabits. In this latest installment of Jason Bourne"s, the protagonist finally meets his maker and learns who he is. In order to achieve this Bourne has to hone in on those who want to avoid him and have been trying to kill him since the first movie - that is corrupt government officials who work for an institutionally dishonest government that condones assassinations, torture and foreign intervention. One man against the system makes "The Bourne Ultimatum" an attractive film. However, with such a story line there is always the danger that it descends into contradictory (in both its message and its narrative thrusts) plot contortions. This film, fortunately avoids this trap, instead, and in line with its more "honest" portrayal of violence, keeps it simple. Yet entertaining. It is hard to find an action film as good as this one, and if you are a fan of the genre do not miss it. And if you"re not a fan of the genre, then you"ll probably like it anyway (I did).
