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 his true identity and put an end once and for 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 ...

INTRODUCTION
------------------------
I have debated whether to write a review on this film for a few days now. I am very undecided on the film and despite my efforts to like it I just can't although I can really understand why some may love the film. This review however is based on my overall opinion of the film, a film very action packed but hard to get 'in to'.

Advantages: Fast-paced, exciting and thrilling with an interesting plot Disadvantages: Poor interaction between Bourne and St Jacques
A man is fished out of the Mediterranean, suffering from gunshot wounds and amnesia.

He goes to Zurich in search of answers, but only finds more questions. Why does he have access to all that money? Why is Zurich familiar to him? Who is Jason Bourne?
Suddenly, he is the target of assassins - he doesn't know who, he doesn't know why. But he knows he must do anything he can to survive and solve the puzzle.
There then follows 560-odd pages of fast-paced, non-stop, thrill-a-minute action.
