Caught the third installment of the Bourne series at GV Plaza yesterday, and I must say I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the previous two. It has always been my opinion that this should have been what James Bond movies should have been and the latest Bond movie by Daniel Craig was probably the only one that came the closest. (Doesn’t matter no one liked him as Bond.) There was a minor disturbance before the movie started. After the Ratatouille ‘Protect IP’ clip was shown, someone in the crowd muttered ‘Fxxk Odex’. Since I was only a few seats away from whoever that was, I replied ‘I agree’ and there was some muffled laughter from some audiences in the vicinity. Stephen Sing and Odex have very successfully made themselves the most hated in Singapore. (More on Odex in a coming post!) |
Anyway, the story is about Jason Bourne’s continued attempt to uncover his identity. It begins with a leak about a certain Black Op in the CIA, which Jason is a part of. The events that transpired ultimately attracted the attention of Jason Bourne.
The CIA attempted to clean up the leak – which simply means elimination of the people involved. Jason once again got dragged into the ongoing operations, though he would want to have nothing to do with his former agency. As usual, elements in the CIA also attempted to eliminate Jason because they wouldn’t like certain things to see the light of day, as it would mean their own ruin.
In the course of the story, one would be taken to several cities in Europe: Moscow, Turin, London and Madrid, and to Tangiers in Morocco, then back to New York. There will be the usual car chases and hand to hand fighting of course. That’s not mentioning that the women in the movie are not just eye-candy or the often damsel in distress in James Bond movies!
So did Jason ultimately manage to find out who he really was and how he end up being some kind of professional assassin? And did the bad people get what they deserved? Watch the show to find out!
And I hope they make a movie on the Brotherhood of the Rose soon!
