Movie Review: Bourne Ultimatum

This is the 3rd installment of the Bourne series starring Matt Damon. Jason Bourne continues on his quest to find out who he really is. He is lured out of hiding to contact a journalist who is writing an exposé of a US government assassin network. CIA agent manager Noah Vosen is determined to assassinate Bourne. Pamela Landy is brought back in to the series to help lead the effort to capture or kill Jason Bourne. As usual, the movie has non-stop action in exotic locations. Some of the chase sequences are too long. US intelligence operatives are mostly treated as assassins and torturers whose end of protecting US interests justify any means- regardless of moral implications. This film was very entertaining, but lacked some of the tidy closure present in the first two films of the series.
