bourne, jason bourne.

saw it last night at a midnight showing, it was fantastic. i loved the first film but was disappointed by the second, in no small part due to the fact that the hand-held camera-work made the fight scenes nearly indecipherable. in this installment, paul greengrass (who also directed the 2nd) pulls the camera back during the action sequences and allows us perspective to view bodies in combat, and it's often exhilarating. i also loved the spy vs. spy, cat-and-mouse stuff in this movie, and matt damon is superb with his quiet intensity.

all in all, an absolutely kick-ass flick.
