That's Jason Bourne!

Advantages: Another well scripted, directed and acted installment in the Bourne Saga
Disadvantages: None

As the pieces have started to fall into place, more and more parts of his past seems to be coming back to Jason Bourne. His latest link is a British journalist Simon Ross who seems to know a lot about Bourne, the Treadstone project and its new guise as operation Blackbriar. Bourne sets up a meeting with Ross to find out what he knows and soon Bourne starts to remember more and more details of his past, sending him via Spain to New York to find out ...
...all to the man hunt that seems to be dogging him. The third part of the Bourne trilogy was released in 2007 and once again followed the same principles that made the first two films so good. The return of the same core team behind the film helped to keep the continuity and picking up the story directly from the end of the second film starts the action immediately. Of course by this point the story is so far away from the original books, but that ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

Bourne is Back

Advantages: Good action and more intelligent than most
Disadvantages: Same story different title

...(Matt Damon) is back as the rogue CIA assasin on the run from his former masters trying to remember his past. When a CIA operation to purchase classified secrets from the Russians go wrong a rogue agent is suspected by the CIA. Who else but Jason Bourne. Jason however is just trying to live out his life in peace after leaving his violent life behind him. However when he again finds himself with the cross hairs on his back he must use all the skills ...
...However when Bourne and the head of the CIA operation talk they realise that neither is envolved with the other. Jason had nothing to do with the operation that went wrong and the CIA have no reason to target him. So why is he still being constantly hunted by a highly profesional and skilled enemy. Like the first Bourne film the story line is complex but very interesting, using big action car chases and a very good script this film is almost definatly ...

Review of The Bourne Supremacy (Chart Driver) (DVD)

You Wanna Go Home? Find Jason Bourne

Advantages: An excellent Sequel that answers a few more questions
Disadvantages: none

Having turned his back on the secret life he couldn't really remember Jason Bourne escaped with his girlfriend to India to get away from the danger. When a Secret service deal in Berlin is interrupted and the targets and goods eliminated Bourne is implicated. His quite life in India is then interrupted and whilst trying to protect themselves his girlfriend is shot and Bourne wants revenge. He heads back to Europe and a vague memory he has of his ...
...for all. After the success of the Bourne Identity it was almost inevitable that there would be a follow up. So having loved the first movie I was really looking forward to this when it was released and unlike a number of sequels this was certainly worth the wait. Having been a big fan or the original Robert Ludlum novels the series, whilst taking a deviation from the original books was still staying true to the core principles of the books, but the ...

Review of The Bourne Supremacy (DVD)

The Bourne Supremacy - More of the same

Advantages: Some good action scenes (incl one good long car chase scene)
Disadvantages: A bit predictable, not as good as the first movie I felt

...think that it really ruins the movie but I warn before going into details about scenes so you can skip that section if your worried** This movie takes place after the end of the last film (the Bourne Identity - which I've also written a review about) and it basically all starts when a person very close to Jason is killed in an assassination attempt on Bournes life. Jason again suffers from amnesia and sets off to avenge the death and to again try ...
...his past. Apart from the assassination attempt, I found the start of the movie to be fairly bland and slow and the movie itself seemed pretty same-ish, with less substance than the previous film. This film does have some good action scenes, particularly noteable being a long car chase scene towards the end of the film (can you tell from past reviews that im keen on car chase scenes in movies?!) and again the film is set in/includes footage in different ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
