The Bourne Trilogy is my name for the three movies made from Robert Ludlum’s action novels The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. The story is based on a clandestine CIA operation gone awry. The agent in the botched operation, Jason Bourne, gets amnesia as a result and the rest of the first movie is a quest to discover his true identity. This set of three movies is a good selection for a mini-movie marathon. When I threw my back out last week, I decided to watch these movies again. They didn’t disappoint. Usually, movie sequels never quite seem to do justice to the original in the series. However, I think the two sequels are each well done in their own right. The action is good and the characters are well portrayed by the likes of Matt Damon and his supporting cast. According to various websites, a fourth Jason Bourne movie is in the works for 2008.
If you’ve never seen them before, these are top-notch action movies and highly recommended. If you’ve already seen them, they’re still worth a second viewing.
There’s also a song played at the end of the movies called Extreme Ways by Moby. It’s a pretty good song and you can watch the video here.
