Rarely does a trequel manage to match the excitement of the previous films, but this is by far the best of the lot and leaves you breathless and exhausted after a two-hour work out of suspense and intrigue.

Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne for the third and final adventure that sees him clocking up the air miles in search of his identity.

As we struggle to keep up with the amnesiac fugitive from the CIA, he looks to find the unlikeliest characters to help him in his quest to find out what really happened to him - without getting killed in the process.

The action in the film is mind-boggling stuff that sees every minute filled with danger and suspense.

Bourne is doing something dangerous and eye-popping in every scene, be it a scooter on scooter chase, a scooter on car chase, a foot on foot chase, fist on fist action, surviving a car bomb - the list is endless.

There are several fantastic moments in the film, including one where Bourne proves his skills in evasion, and guides a Guardian journalist through the throng of people at Waterloo Station out of sight of those watching him - one wrong step and he'll be an assassin's target.

This is not only brilliant to the extreme, but 'choreographed' to perfection, communicating via mobile phone, we watch Bourne tell the journalist when to duck, what to use as a decoy, what door to hide behind - it may be teetering on the edge of farcical but it is so tense and exciting to watch it manages to remain believable.

Another classic moment sees Bourne runs full-pelt across the Moroccan rooftops in search of fellow CIA agent Nicky (Julia Stiles), where he grabs random items of laundry off clothes lines before wrapping them around his hands and vaulting across a ledge fringed with broken glass -all this just seconds before he hurls himself from a balcony through a window. Amazing stuff.

This film has taken a very adventurous approach in some aspects, with a punch-up scene in total silence - no music or effects, just the noises that you would really hear if you were in the room with Bourne - and it achieves what it sets out to - it makes you feel like you are right there and in on the action.

The unique hand-held camera-work is also adventurous, and had me unsure at the start thinking I'd end up being seasick before the opening credits had ceased, but before long I was in the thick of it, feeling as if I really was there with Bourne.

This is the ultimate in intense, climatic films, that, in the end, leaves you not that bothered what the actually plot is, just rooting for Bourne to get what he wants so he can carry on with his life.

The only downside to this film, is that it marks the end of an amazing modern 'Bond' style film franchise.
