Movie Reviews of The Jason Bourne Collection (The Bourne Identity / The Bourne Supremacy / The Bourne Ultimatum)
Movie Review: the best, period
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen a lot of spy films. For suspense, mystery, complexity that the viewer must unravel, and that strange quality that allows you to suspend your disbelief, this is undoubtedly the best trilogy of spydom I have ever seen.
You start with Bourne waking with amnesia, struggling to remember who he is, but with his calculating mind and deadly skills wired into his DNA. He is in danger and meets a wonderful girl, who is kind of a lost soul with great potential, that life force that one finds in sudden, true love. She becomes his guide to the search for - or effort to reconstruct - his personality.
Due to politics and a murderous bureaucracy, Bourne functioned as a kind of ultimate assassin. ("I don't send you to kill...I send you to be invisible because you don't exist.") Over the course of 3 films, we learn details of what he was made to be, and how. At the end, we see that he hated what he had become, which in combination with his "conditioning", was the source of his amnesia. It was psychological - wanting to find his earlier identity, which was taken from him in spite of his protests - as much as physical.
His new life, of course, is tragic. This makes it psychologically real, combined with the greatest acting that I have ever been found in a spy series. In my view, Damon is one of the greatest actors alive, and he gives life to this role in a way I have never seen in a spy film. The most interesting things is that each film in the series adds to the others, deepening the themes while offering heart-pounding suspense and sufficient realism and detail to enter the imagination. Yet not everything is explained, so that many of the biggest conclusions lie under the surface.
If I could give this series 6 stars I would. I have watched each film numerous times and am never disappointed - it just gets richer. This is one of the rare films that transcends the book.
