Jason Bourne continues his search for the truth about his unknown past. Meanwhile, government agents try to track him down before their are exposed.

This movie was a great way to end the trilogy. I felt this movie was superior to the second film, but not as great as the first. Having the main character return to the United States to confront the people who trained him, makes this film a thrilling and satisfactory conclusion to a series of films five years in the making. I feel sad that it is over.

What I will not miss is the hand-held camera sequences throughout the film. Although I realize this is a stylistic choice, it makes me sick to my stomach (literally). I actually want to see the action rather than feel as though I am living it.

A question I have for the film is: doesn’t Bourne need to be checked out for internal injuries? There is no way he is internally ok after those fighting scenes. Yikes!

Bottom Line: The Bourne Ultimatum is worth seeing in theaters.

Action

Rated PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of action.

Running Time: 1 hour 51 minutes

Hit - Starring Andy Samberg, Isla Fisher, Will Arnet, Ian McShane, Bill Hader

Amateur stuntman Rod Kimble (Samberg) devises a plan to raise money to save his stepfather’s life, jump fifteen buses in a single bound. The problem is, Kimble can’t even clear the local pool. Will he be able to reach his goal and earn his stepfather’s respect?

Let me just start by saying this is not the best film of the year but certainly has great laughs through out because of the fact that it is over-the-top. This movie far surpasses the most current film of a similar competitive theme, Talladega Nights.

The role of Rod Kimble was originally intended for Will Ferrell. But I don’t think it would have been as successful if the movie decided to execute this film with an older cast.

My favorite part of the movie is the never ending “falling” scene in which Rod is tumbling down a mountain after punch dancing around a redwood forest.

Bottom Line: This comedy is “hot.”

Comedy

Rated PG-13 for crude humor, language, some comic drug-related and violent content.

Running Time: 1 hour 28 minutes
