*spoilers* Is that implied?

I had no problems with the up close editing. It added a nice style to the action scenes. It does get a bit boring seeing the same old fight scene in "mortal kombat" view. Greengrass is kinda of a newb in the action genre, although United 93 was a great film.

The small plot devices like the Julia Stiles stuff seemed out of place to me. A couple of her parting lines really opened up a lot of questions as to how long Jason may have been in the program. I'm not sure if that's was Greengrass was going for.

The flashbacks in the last half of the film were good. I would have liked to see more a of trigger on the flashbacks. They seemed to happen at random times, just to help build tension in the film. I don't really think that's a bad thing just a personal preference.

Robby, I think this was the least "make you think" of all the Bourne films. It lead itself to a pretty typical end. Greengrass took over in the last 2 films. I think trilogies or epics like for example LOTR should have a beginning-middle-end and the tension should follow. Half-way through this film I felt Greengrass knew the jig was up. Although Bourne Identity was good starter filck, I'm sure Greengrass felt obligated to build an ending, and that's a tough way to start a film. The introduction of so many "new" characters was one of the things holding back the cohesive nature of the trilogy.

Most of my views represent personal taste and not really criticisms. Bourne Ultimatum was a good film.
