Film Review: The Bourne Ultimatum

A very quick review, and no spoilers, I just have to say I loved this. I can't remember looking forward to a cinema release that much in ages, and when I do do that I'm usually disappointed, but not here. The Treadstone replacement project it revolves around Mrs P noticed was name dropped back in the closing scene of the first film. I like details like that. It all works very well. And there is plenty of Nicky* action and a great part for Albert Finney. The sound work is also pretty good, although too loud in the cinema, there's nothing worse than unrealistically loud foley. The scene with the fight in the bathroom, where Bourne's attacker is thought to be holding a blade of some sort (razor?) is so fast moving you can barely see a thing, but the knife sounds in it are great. Although, if you removed the visual action it would probably sound like the Goon Show.

[The Bourne Ultimatum is out now]

* I've just discovered that "Julia Stiles" is a dangerous Google Image Search.
