All he wanted was to disappear; instead, Jason Bourne is now hunted by the people who made him what he is--legendary assassin. Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, he is undeterred by the barrage of bullets and a new generation of highly-trained killers. Bourne has only one objective: to go back to the beginning and find out who he was. Now, in the new chapter of this espionage series, Bourne will hunt down his past in order to find a future. He must travel from Moscow, Paris and London to Tangier and New York City as he continues his quest to find the real Jason Bourne--all the while trying to outmaneuver the scores of cops, federal officers and Interpol agents with him in their crosshairs.

Suggest you check out both ends of the spectrum! - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

I think readers need be aware there are a lot of people who work on movie sets who write in reviews to up the odds so their movies will do well in the box office, and if you really want a well-rounded review of a movie, you should view the most positive and most negative to obtain an honest assessment. Especially, to avoid becoming just another part of the herd of cattle being roped in for their high profits. The producers/directors of this movie were genius to bring a $70 million weekend gross for a movie with an extremely dull storyline, and action sequences only the clairvoyant could make out. I can only assess that it could be appreciated most by those who play a lot of video-games, as the real challenge isn't understanding this movie, but rather trying to identify what you are seeing. About 70 percent of the movie is action-chase scenes that are a hodge podge of fast camera shots that appear to be created from a cameraman running or jumping while filming and perhaps the editors thought it might be fun to cut the film up every five slides and put them back together in a different order. Bourne apparently, for a real twist, drives a car off the top of a parking garage, but you don't really know what happened until he gets out of it at the bottom. Since you don't realize what it is you are seeing, it doesn't matter if they _uck it up or not because you can't tell what is going on anyway. Way to cut down costs on retakes!!! Congrats to Matt! at least the few lines you had, were believeable....and what a waste of Joan Allen! What a gem. Check her out in "Off the Map" or "Upside of Anger"! But this was definitely the last "Bourne" movie I'm checking out.
