sobriqueWent to see Bourne Ultimatum last night, for a preview show.
It's the last in the story line started by Bourne Identity, and Bourne Supremacy. It doesn't disappoint at all. It's got a nice, fast pace to it. The plot unfolds elegantly and cleanly. And there's a ... real ruthlessness to all the sides involved, which is just glorious.
There's some really stupendous action sequences, in a similar sort of theme to the previous films (e.g. fight scenes that really do come across as 'fighting dirty').
About all I can say is if you liked the previous Bourne films, catch this one at the Cinema. You won't regret it.
Oh, and pick up a copy of the book. It's not really in any way related, apart from a few similar names, but ... well the book is very good too, and well worth a read if you like the genre. Actually, because it's 'different enough' the book doesn't ruin the film and vice versa.
This is definitely going on my 'Buy on DvD list', and actually, I'm tempted to go see it again at the Cinema.
Whilst there, they trailed 'Shoot 'em Up' which also looks like a 'must see' film. Unfortuately, the 'net review scene, is calling it as a turkey, so maybe not :/ http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0465602/
