Surprise, surprise - yet another action flick that gives you a little to think about. Not a lot, mind you, but it was very interesting. The Bourne Ultimatum has all the non-stop action of its less thoughtful siblings, but it manages to keep you thinking. The chase scenes were fun, with a lot of weird twists & turns thrown in, and the fight scenes were gritty and brutal, as befits the genre.
Damon does a good job, as in previous installations, as Jason Bourne, but Joan Allen is the real star of this movie. Her role as the "tough but too smart to be brutal without cause" officer in whatever clandestine group they're in (NSA, I think, but who knows?) is extremely compelling, maybe because it implies there are people in such organizations with consciences.
This movie is worth seeing, but you'll want to see the previous two installments first.
