Good Action, Bad Plot, Bad Cameras

So this is the third movie in this really wonderfully done series, but I have to say that this was by far the most disappointing. They leave so many open ends in the film and it just seems all too "neat" at the end, and while I realize that this is the third film and they wanted to "wrap things up" they didn't need to do it in a way that was quite lack luster. The return of Julia Stiles as a "confidant" who wants to help Jason is fine, I can accept that, but the writers give her this psuedo-relationship status before Jason became "Jason Bourne." I thought it was "trying" too hard to make her fit into the role of the "confidant." Even Pamela Landy seemed to be placed in her position as a "forced" scape goat.

Bourne to be Wild

This is pretty much the action film of the year. You've got your car chases, your shootouts, your knock-down, drag out fight scenes and, best of all, you've got a plot that managed to be both smart and interesting.
Jason Bourne is still on the trail of his identity, and for each step he comes closer to finding the truth, he's one step closer to being wiped out by the people who don't want him to knowing it. The action is seamless and intense. Wait for the one-on-one fight between Bourne and an assassin in a cramped room in Morocco - it's possibly the best fight scene in all the Bourne films and one of the best overall put on film.
Paul Greengrass likes that hand-held camera approach. It still makes it hard to follow the action at times, but I've come around to the fact that …
