Would definitely recommend. Normally the later films in trilogies do not live up to expectations such as The Matrix, however the Bourne films get better as they go on.
It starts with Jason Bourne, a trained killer, being found in the sea unconscious. He is brought onto a ship and is nursed back to consciousness. However he has severe amnesia and just sees flashbacks now and again. He intends to find out who he is but the agency who he worked for intends on stopping him. He eventually tries to disappear and almost live a 'peaceful life' but this isn't going to happen. Angered by a tragic event (Won't ruin it for you) Bourne is now full of determination and is undeterred by the series of bullets fired at him. He wants to go back to the beginning and find out how it all started...
Unbelievable action scenes, unlike anything else and the brilliantly thought up storylines and character of Jason Bourne will definitely keep you hooked.
Jason Bourne is played by Matt Damon who has proven to be among the top actors with the splendid performances in all three films. There are many special features listed below which I have watched all of and give a great insight into the film, the making-of and Jason Bourne. It also shows that Matt Damon did all his own stunts, some of the places where they filmed-with problems encountered, how car chases,etc were filmed and how much goes into specific scenes with great technology and expertise being used.

All three films can be watched over and over again and you will never get bored. It will be a long while until a trilogy as good as this one comes out. If you havent already got this dvd boxset-get it now and set aside 6 hours to watch all 3 back-to-back. 10/10.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
