The Bourne Ultimatum

Ultimatum is where author Robert Ludlum ended his series (before author took over after his death) and, although I would love to see more, this is where the series should end.  The Bourne series started off strong and kept getting better ever since, easily eclipsing the first 3 Bond films and becoming my favorite covert spy franchise of all time.

QUALITY:
Because of Greengrass’ handheld and blued over style, I expected Ultimatum to bea bit washed out and grainy but I was presented with a crisp and beautiful image.  Initially, I was actually taken aback and thought that this clarity would hamper the style of the film but, as the story went on, I found my self engrossed in the story even more and, with the explosions, fighting and gunfire all around me, I found myself enjoying Bourne on a whole new level.

BONUS FEATURES:
Deleted Scenes, featurettes and a surprisingly entertaining and insightful commentary by director Paul Greengrass. Although I would have like to see a bit more going into the training of Damon, I guess that is best  made available on the first film since Damon is clearly past the training phase and appearing like an expert in every aspect of the film.
