Is it the Last One?

Run, Jason, run, with these words Roger Ebert begins his journey in reviewing the identity of the film, The Bourne Ultimatum. His review title cutting to the chases shows the dissatisfaction of how the Bourne films have taken Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) in a surreal hunt across the world. Such hunt has lead into bizarre chases where the secret CIA in America tries to track him. When the CIA finally has his exact location, Bourne manages to escape the technologically advanced gadgets the CIA sets to find him. As Roger Ebert said “Some guy finds himself with a fake identity, wants to know who he really is and spends three movies finding out at breakneck speed. And if the ending of ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’ means anything at all, he may need another movie to clear up the loose ends.” Certainly, Ebert critiques that their have been to many Jason Bourne films. Yet, he credits Matt Damon for being able to make his character realistic leading the audience to care about him even if the audience knows that such character could not exist in real life. Lastly, with a three and half star rating, Ebert ends his review by saying this movie is complete by itself because there is always something happening to Bourne to be able to run away from the action or even towards it.
