At the time of its release in 2007, "The Bourne Ultimatum" was
described by one writer as the blockbuster it was 'okay to like'.
What is it about this third entry in a Hollywood action franchise
that satisfied both the cognoscenti and mass audiences? In
"Studying The Bourne Ultimatum," Neil Archer considers the film's
status as "a serious blockbuster'"; compares rise of Jason Bourne
in relation to the decline of another J.B. -- James Bond; analyzes
how the dynamics of the action thriller are used to depict the
covert operations of US intelligence forces across the world; looks
closely at the action sequences, focusing on their style and
technological innovation; and considers the film's questioning of
responsibility and culpability, asking whether -- against the
backdrop of the "War on Terror"-- it plays as a critique of
American foreign policy, but also as a redemption for its
soldiers.
