The James Logan Courier

Reviewed by Hassina Obaidy, Courier Staff Writer

The spy thriller trilogy which began with The Bourne Identity ends as Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) continues his journey in finding his true identity while suffering from amnesia, in The Bourne Ultimatum.

Bourne is an assassin trained by Treadstone, a codename for a government organization. While searching for answers to who he is, Bourne tracks down a journalist named Simon Ross (Padey Considine) who knows everything about Jason Bourne and Treadstone. This is rather inconvenient for U.S. govenrment official Noah Vosen (David Strathairn) who hopes to start a new organization under the codename Blackbriar, following in Treadstone's mold. Then, Vosen sends agent Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) to search for Bourne and Ross before they can learn the program's disturbing secrets.
