Bourne offers $20,000 to Marie, a young woman he glimpses in the American embassy, if she’ll drive him from Zurich to Paris. But ”The Bourne Identity” has a sullen roteness that all of Liman’s supple handheld staging can’t disguise.

You never know, we may need him one day." And if the filmmakers keep making the films this good, the audiences will come.If Bourne himself had been shocked, or even appalled, by the hidden reality of his existence, then the movie might have generated some more tension. There was a fourth Die Hard, there will be a fourth Indiana Jones film - could there be another chapter in the Bourne saga? Well, author Robert Ludlum penned five Bourne novels, and near the end of his commentary Greengrass says, "He's the spirit of opposition. Greengrass also discloses how he pays homage to two of his favorite films. Greengrass' commentary is better than what he did in the DVD extras for The Bourne Supremacy, in which he rambled while important scenes went unexplained, and dwelled too long on what was motivating Bourne.
If there's anything missing from this package it's sit-down interviews with the cast, such as Allen and Julia Stiles, who like Damon has appeared in all three films. Now they have hired a third, David Strathairn. 11 happened, and here the film balances the question of whether the ends (safety from terrorism) justify the means (political assassination).ĭuring interviews for the second film, Damon remarked that the producers had hired two of America's best actors, Chris Cooper and Joan Allen, to try to kill him. The political overtones have changed since the first film: Sept. What separates the Bourne trilogy from most genre efforts is the writing: first in its intelligence, then for its risks - for instance, killing off major characters - and for challenging its audience. And not only does he supply that credit, he mentions contributions from two uncredited writers, both fairly big names. Greengrass' commentary is generous in pointing out who did what. Not so with the Bourne franchise they pump things up each time out thanks to Bradley, the second-unit filmmakers, and stunt crews. In this third outing, the filmmakers wanted to ratchet up the action from the second film (which had to rev things up from the first movie). Ansah doesn't say a word onscreen, but in the extras, he gets a few laughs demonstrating in training what he's going to do before the cameras. In Ultimatum, Bourne fights Desh (Joey Ansah), a younger, stronger version of himself. Director Paul Greengrass (who helmed the second entry in 2004, The Bourne Supremacy) wanted the fights in his films to be more kinetic, even messy, and martial-arts adviser Jeff Imada has done that. government-sanctioned assassin in his Paris apartment, one of the best hand-to-hand combat scenes ever filmed. In The Bourne Identity (2002), Jason fought another U.S. While one stuntman jumped off a roof and crashed through the window of an apartment in an adjacent building, Bradley had another stuntman with a camera jump right behind the first leaper to give the viewer a literal bird's-eye view of the action. Not only did Bradley conceive the unreal moves, but he offered novel ways to photograph them. These scenes are stunning to watch, and with this DVD, it is equally entertaining to see how they were done.
And while in the three movies - The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum - Damon has shown plenty of brains, Bradley and his cohorts supply the ample brawn.īradley choreographed the chase sequences: Bourne on a minibike speeding through the crowded, narrow streets of Tangiers, on foot jumping over the city's rooftops, and then driving a police car in New York. The amnesiac Bourne (Matt Damon) is a U.S.-trained political assassin who is trying to recall and deal with who he was. Who receives proper credit for his contributions on the just-released DVD.
