WHAT IT'S ABOUT: In this the third instalment film based on the Robert Ludlum novels about Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), a CIA operative who is trying to recapture his past and identity, the hero (Bourne) continues to unravel the mystery of who he really is.

The flick begins in Moscow, Russia (where the Bourne Supremacy left off) with Bourne trying to outrun the Russian Police. Fast-forward to the United States and the CIA has crafted a plan to eliminate Bourne. But first, they must find who has leaked information to the media about a programme called 'Black Briar' of which Bourne was a part. Bourne is also curious to find out where the reporter, who is later killed, has got his information.

Bourne, however, manages to get information on who supplied the reporter with details about Black Briar during the melee which occurs after the reporter is shot at a train station in London.

His quest takes him to Spain where he teams up with Nicky Parsons to locate Neal Daniels (Colin Stinton) who was the reporter's source in Tangiers, Morocco. However, Daniels is killed in Morocco but not before Bourne learns enough to take him back to the United States where he finally learns who he really is. But, this information may prove costly.

LONG STORY SHORT: The Bourne Ultimatum is a good action movie with a good plot. It has incredible fight scenes and enough action to grab attention for the entire 115 minutes. And, unlike many other action flicks, the hero actually takes a few blows.

THE REEL LOW-DOWN: If you liked The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, you'll like this.

Academy Award winner Matt Damon, as Jason Bourne, faces obstruction in finding out his own identity.
