The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

The government's most wanted amnesiac super-spy returns in this thrilling third installment in the Jason Bourne franchise. The Bourne Ultimatum picks up where The Bourne Supremacy left off, with Bourne once again racing around the globe, desperate to uncover the secrets of his identity. Having just lost his girlfriend and only companion, his search for answers is now fuelled by much more than his own self-preservation. The film kicks off with Bourne tracking down a British journalist (Paddy Considine) who he believes has valuable information about his past. He quickly discovers that the government conspiracy runs far deeper than he realized, and so begins a riveting, action-packed game of cat and mouse with the CIA. [www.rottentomatoes.com]

Smart and sharp, crazy-fast-paced and great looking, The Bourne Ultimatum is popcorn with style and a brain - what James Bond once was and now aspires to become again.
