The Bourne Ultimatum

Wow...amazing movie. The action never stops. It has one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen, and I was pretty stressed out the entire time. DEFINITELY recommend that you guys see it.

I was wondering if this was going to be good. The trailor was suspensful so I knew the movie would be. Can't wait to see it.

I've been excited about this one and can't wait to see it. I read some bad reviews the other day and was beginning to get worried. Glad to hear something good about it.

I loved it. It was confusing at first because you expect the movie to pick up where the second left off. The way they worked things together was pretty nifty. (could be the same way in the book, I've never read 'em)

The books are the best super spy novels out there. Movies have been disappointing thus far and have drifted quite a ways from Ludlum's masterpieces, but I do hear good things about this last one.

3 books by the same name as the movies.

If you get caught up and love those, he's written about 100 others of similar style, with The Parsifal Mosaic being the best (after the first Bourne)

I may have to check those out. Thanks for the tip.

My brother saw it, said it was cool, except they used the damned shaky camera the whole time. It's kind of an annoying Hollywood trend, especially in all the new "street-level" espionage flicks.

The Good Shepherd and Breach are the best espionage movies as of late, IMO.

I have yet to see Breach, but I am a huge Chris Cooper fan Ryan Phillipe is really what held me back. I actually enjoyed the Good Shepherd more than I did The Departed. It was thoughtful and well done.

The shaky camera may just push me to wait for the DVD. It annoyed the hell out of me in the last film.

The Departed does have the shock value that I mentioned, but behind the show, it still is an extremely well-wrought, well-acted and generally well-executed film.

That and The Last King of Scotland were easily the best films of '06.

As for Breach, Chris Cooper steals the entire show. Ryan Phillipe is good, not great, but the interaction between the two is. Definitley keeps you on the edge of your seat. Imagine Phillipe's cocky character from Cruel Intentions getting put in his place by a true con-artist.

I am still partial to Little Miss Sunshine and A Prairie Home Companion. I also really enjoyed the Illusionist though it was slightly predictable.

The biggest disappointment for me was A Scanner Darkly.

I loved both the Bourne movies. I probably need to check those books out.
