; Bourne Supremacy (2004) 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372183/
, and The Bourne Ultimatum 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0440963/
. All 3 star Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and his aliases. Franka Potente is the girl Marie he hooks up with because she has a car he needs to get away. Villians are Conklin (Chris Cooper) and Abbott (Brian Cox) of the Agency, both rogue operatives. Loved this first film with it's mystery of who he is and we find out right along with him. In Supremacy, two years have passed, Marie and Jason are in India, where an assassin shows up to do his dirty work. Jason comes back to Europe to find out why they were targeted again. He discovers he has been set up for a botched CIA assassination. Joan Allen is Pamela Landry, the new head of operations in D.C. who heads to Berlin to find out what is going on. Julia Stiles is back as Nicky, a techy in a field operations office. Great action thriller. Bringing the story forward. So in Ultimatum it is Jason hobbling along the Moscow street where he ended in Supremacy. On a train back to Berlin, he discovers an article by a investigative reporter who has written about him. At the station he calls the paper and has the reporter meet him and all hell breaks loose. Everyone is after them. Allen is a marvelous source of sanity at the agency and suspects new director Noah Vosen (David Strathairn) and his boss Ezra Kramer (Scott Glenn) of targeting Bourne to cover up the Blackbriar programs' rogue killings. Stiles is back to become Jason's ally and a target also. Extreme action scenes, and pushing the use of the 'shakey cam' about as far as the human eye can take, the 3rd episode ends with Jason in the water after a gunshot. Is he dead at last? Before the final fade we see he swims toward the surface and dissapears in the gloomy water. Great series I can watch at least once a year. And I'm looking forward to the prequel. Will enjoy seeing what they do with the character. The series 8.5/10
