Yes, it looks pretty. Yes, it's got a ton of action (sadly 90% of it is highly questionable in it's realism). Yes, it ties up loose ends. If your thinking of going to see this film then watch parts 1 & 2 before you go. You'll understand this film better. This film on it's own doesn't bear well to scrutiny as a stand-alone movie. Once again we're following spy Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, still looking 12 years old in certain scenes). He seems to be having flashbacks about who he really is (come on, be honest - do we really care?) and the memories seem to be coming back in floods.
Such is the premise of the film and what I laughingly refer as "the plot" is wafer thin. Anyway the CIA are wandering around the world,waving guns in the street without ever getting shot by the local police forces (I think the scene of them getting arrested in Turin should have turned into a shoot-out as they'd already been told shots were fired). A case of Hollywood saying we (Americans) rule the world and can do what we like anywhere on the planet.
Get stuffed, you'd be killed by the local police if there were even an iota of realism in this film. Especially in London. Anyway, Bourne happily roves around the world (never being caught at any borders, despite the fact the CIA are looking for him. And just HOW did he even get into America?), a passport of his is noticed as he enters Morocco (HOW? The agent very clearly says it had NEVER been on the grid so how did they catch it?).
He is even stupid enough to contact the CIA and mental enough to enter the building (how DID he manage that, by the way?) to rob some documents to allow him to work out the final bits in his identity mystery. The film rolls from action sequence to lull to action sequence . The music is the main factor in keeping suspense and interest.
Generally the film is quite bad. Best avoided I think, hopefully it will be the last Bourne film.
