Bourne Ultimatum

I love the Ishaans of celluloid and I even like the Jason Bournes…

This movie is obviously in the genre of bond movies sans the sci-fi ness. But as I was seeing the movie, there was something about the story which wasn’t up-to date / contemporary… And to my surprise the series of Bourne books were written by Robert Ludlum in the 70s with Bourne Ultimatum in 1980. Also some more internet search and I understand the obvious - the book is different from the movie, right from the first part Bourne Identity.

But that apart, the movie is fast and well paced like a 007 movie. There isn’t one moment in the movie where the camera wasn’t moving. I liked the style of the shooting where the camera keeps moving even when two people are talking face to face, the angle, the dimensions, everything – it creates an anxious feeling and I guess the intent is to keep the audience hooked on to the characters and what the director wants to show, without deviating attention to the surroundings – this is completely my theory and I may have to research some more to fortify it.

Other than been a gripping entertainer for 2 hours, there isn’t anything else to the movie. Its for someone who likes spy, CIA, KGB movies… and I think since there are fewer such movies being made now-a-days, the one’s which are made surely get a good response.
