The Borne Ultimatum


I am on "vacation" until next Tuesday, thus I planned to steer clear of the blog for a few days, but since I saw The Borne Ultimatum today I had to post on it. See this movie. It's amazing. It's the best actor movie that I have seen in a long time. It's basically non-stop action from start to finish with a slight breather here and there.

Matt Damon is an amazing actor seen in the fact that he can play a total dork in Ocean's 11 and 12 and then transform into some sort of human/robot killing machine in these movies. The ability to be believable in both (and every role in between) is a great testimony to his skill as an actor.

There are some actions scenes in this movie like I had never need before. The director made some amazing choices in terms of the cinematography. It's great to see Hollywood put out an action movie that is not gratuitous and actually communicates something of artistic value. Check this out. It's great.

You can read some reviews here from Rotten Tomatoes.

Two questions:

1. Is there a car chase?

2. Did the camera man from the first two take his epilepsy medicine?
