Back for more Bourne, are you? Our action hero has (in our opinion) saved the best for his most recent adventure, The Bourne Ultimatum. Of course, we can't say it's the last because there is supposed to be a fourth installment on the way. Judging by this entry, the guy certainly isn't ready to slow down anytime soon. Between the first two films, two years had lapsed. Not as much time has passed here, so Bourne is still pretty pissed off. Still not completely aware of his past, the one thing he does remember is the (major spoiler alert if you haven't seen The Bourne Supremacy) death of his beloved Marie (Franka Potente). So now he's out to find the people that did this to them. Does it even matter? Gimme kung-fu fighting and chase scenes, of which this film has plenty.More action, more anger and more shaky-cam; for our money, Ultimatum is the ultimate in the Bourne series. Bourne embodies Batman, John McClane and the Terminator for almost two whole hours. The Bourne Identity had its fists of fury, The Bourne Supremacy was about blowing stuff up. Just when you think the series might run out of steam, The Bourne Ultimatum combines the best of both of those worlds, a ton of exotic locations and evil appearances from David Strathairn, Scott Glenn and Albert Finney. This ride is relentless, so settle in. If you need to take a breath, you might just miss one of the best action films ever. Need to unravel more of the film's plot?

Like the two other films, The Bourne Ultimatum has a soundtrack that will leave you completely gasping for air. As we mentioned, this is the one that manages to combine the fists and fun chases from the first two movies, with gunshots, shattered glass, multi-vehicle chases, and explosions aplenty. Oh, there are plenty of punches, too, all of which are delivered with a one-two through the Blu-ray's DTS-HD Master Audio track. The Extras

Also regrettably, director Stewart and various cast and crew gather for a picture-in-picture film-length supplement that's really pretty nifty from a technological standpoint but is an ordeal to sit through for the wide gulf separating what the creative types think they've produced (and avoided) from the evidence unspooling beneath their proud proclamations. It's cool, let me reiterate, but it decorates an ultimately unworthy product. Stewart talks about the difference between surprise and suspense in the least interesting exposition since Hitchcock closed the book on any discussion of the terms in 1962; the whole time all we're thinking is that Legion looks and acts like a cheap piece of shit that wouldn't know what to do with a budget if it had one. F/X work is gone over in agonizing detail, as if anyone in the digital age is remotely amazed by the trickery employed in the creation of these little fantasies, and there's a lot of praise for the actors as well--indeed, it's full of words despite that there isn't much to say about the picture. Most disappointing is probably the filmmakers' complete lack of insight into the motivations of their God, either because nothing was ever sussed out on that front or because they're all too pussified to say anything. Called "Bringing Angels to Earth: Picture-in-Picture," this special feature also includes storyboards for a car chase/crash sequence that was done infinitely better in the shitty Jeepers Creepers sequel. 2ff7e9595c
