I have never been one to shy away from saying that most action films just plain do nothing for me. Most times they are blatant vehicles to blow stuff up, show off sexy models, and throw any semblance of reality or intelligence out the window. With that said, the Bourne series has been fantastic. Doug Liman ushered in a new take on action by using a more cinema verite style, showing the fights in full force and making our super spy someone we can relate to emotionally as well as humanly. This is not the sci-fi absurdity that was Bond (before they did an overhaul in the style of this series no less). There was a lot to worry for when the Bourne Supremacy came out. With director Paul Greengrass taking over, what could have been a second-hand copy of the original ended up being an improvement in style and flair. The stakes were raised and the story was enhanced because of it. Greengrass needs to be given a ton of credit for being able to keep up appearances with the latest installment, The Bourne Ultimatum. In what is an amazing conclusion to a top-notch trilogy, the action is brought to a new level and story and performance are never compromised.
Once again, Bourne is brought into the minds of the CIA by false pretenses. Someone has leaked information about the Treadstone upgrade called Blackbriar and once Bourne is located trying to converse with the newswriter who broke the story, he is assumed to be the mole. Only Pamela Landy, she who was on the case to find him in Supremacy, knows that he can't be the one. Bourne's motive has always been to stay clear of the government and live his life in peace. It has been the CIA who keeps bringing him back into the open to wreak havoc on them. What ends up transpiring is that Bourne wants to know the source as well to finally find out the truth of who he is and what made him into a killer. The film, then, becomes a chase against time and each other to find the source and see if the government can close the breach and tie off all loose ends, or if Bourne can get his revenge on those who took his life from him.
In what is probably the simplest storyline of the series, with only one chase lasting the entirety of the story, it has possibly the biggest cast of characters and turning over of loyalties to expose the corruption that has been behind the full story progression. This is not a detriment at all, however, as it allows for more fights and car chases that work in full context to the plot. Admission to this film is worth it for the apartment fight, between Bourne and the CIA's second asset, alone. The chase jumping through windows in Madrid is cool on its own, but when they finally meet up, we get a ten minute or so fight that is as invigorating to watch as any scene you'll see. Also, rather than using a massive car chase as a climatic set piece like in the first two films, we instead get around three small scale road races, just as intense, but staggered enough to never bog the action down into monotony.
After five years of waiting, we also find out the origin of our favorite operative with heart and feeling. By the end of the film we will find out what has been the cause of all the espionage and destruction that has taken place around him. No one could have done it better than Matt Damon. He has the physique and attitude to be believable in the action sequences, but also the range to pull off the moments of intelligence and cat and mouse correspondence with those against him. Joan Allen reprises her role with the same amount of dedication to her job, but also a bit more disenchantment for what is going on around her after how Brian Cox's character, from the first two films, took matters into his own hands. Needing a role in that mold, we are given a nice turn from David Strathairn. Like Cox, he is working at the top of the food chain and answers to no one when making a decision. With as much trying to cover up any connections to his bosses of the Blackbriar program as he is trying to do his duty to his country, you can never quite gauge what he will be capable of doing. Even the little guys do a wonderful job, like Paddy Considine as the reporter who starts the leak at the center of everything, Albert Finney as a man from Bourne's past and possibly key to his origin, and Edgar Ramirez as one of the CIA's operatives sent to take Bourne out. Ramirez is a nice addition to the role that has been successfully played by Clive Owen (Identity), Karl Urban, and Martin Csokas (Supremacy). He doesn't talk much, if at all, but he has the look and robotic efficiency down pat and hopefully will get more roles to show what he can do post a nice turn in Domino.
In the end, one has to applaud Paul Greengrass for continuing to exceed expectations and bring this series to a conclusion that builds on the success of its predecessors rather than destroy them. His skill at the close-up hand-held look is astonishing and has the same kinetic energy as Tony Scott, but without quite the seizure-inducing cuts. Rather than feel like over- production, his use of hand-held enhances the environment and puts you directly into the action. Let's also credit cinematographer Oliver Wood, who shot all three Bourne films. He was able to work with both directors and work his style into a nice harmony with them.

Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is still chasing – and being chased by – the CIA. He still wants to find out who he really is and what happened to him, and they still want him dead. If you have seen The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy you know the drill: much running and jumping, narrow escapes, close-quarter man-to-man combat, really wobbly camerawork (the “unsteady-cam”) and extreme close-up for 111 minutes – which does get a bit tiresome.
Quiet moments are rare but superior to the non-stop action, for example when Bourne meets a journalist (Paddy Considine) at Waterloo Station (London). Here Bourne shows the true qualities of a secret agent – his enormous awareness. In a crowd of hundreds of people he is able to spot hostile agents within seconds, to assess the ever-changing situation while everybody is constantly moving, to remain invisible himself and to navigate a clueless journalist through the crowd. A masterful demonstration of concentration, attention and supremacy. And a piece of genius film-making.
There is obviously more to Bourne than jumping and fighting, but we don’t see enough of that. And while there was his relationship with Marie (Franka Potente) in The Bourne Identity to relate to Bourne on an emotional level (and to have some quieter moments between the action pieces), there is nothing like this in The Bourne Ultimatum, making both the character and the film emotionally poorer.
And when the conclusion finally comes, it feels flat, too. So we learn Bourne’s real name is David Webb, but almost nothing about the man David Webb once was. All we learn is that he was eager to serve his country and that he volunteered for the Treadstone program where he was first broken and then turned into an agent/assassin with quite unpleasant behavior-modificating procedures. But who was David Webb the man? No clue there. Maybe not the nice, innocent guy who got in trouble devoid of guilt Bourne may have hoped he once was, because he volunteered with more than a vague hunch what he was getting himself into (as we learn in the brief flashbacks when Bourne’s memory returns). That’s a nice melancholic touch but not really satisfying. But then, nothing could be really satisfying – Bourne discovering he really was simply a nice guy would seem dull, and we surely wouldn’t want to find out that he was a jerk in his former life. Either way, the Bourne we know and love – the man on the ultimate and noble journey to find the truth and himself – is gone and replaced by something less heroic.
Part of the appeal of The Bourne Identity was the freshness – Jason Bourne was the new James Bond when the original Bond had become a hackneyed joke with invisible cars. But five years later, the raw and brutish style introduced by The Bourne Identity has become the standard. Casino Royale owes a lot to Jason Bourne, but let’s face it – James has “out-bourned” Jason and is still (or again) the daddy! |
