I finally saw the final installment of the Bourne Trilogy and it lived up to my expectations. A smart thrill ride. I didn't find it as compelling as Supremacy, but it was still heads and tails above most films of its genre.
The story was a little convoluted with all the zipping around Europe hoping to find "the source." I also found Bourne's character less compelling in this installment. He was too flat.
While it did a great job of wrapping up most of the questions about Bourne, the movie left one gapping question open: what is the relationship between Nikki and Bourne? It is odd that she shows up in all three movies because she is a very minor player in the plot. They could have left her character out after the first movie. The plot device bringing her into the second movie was plausible, but not great. The device used to bring her into this installment was lame. Add that to the comment "with you it was hard" and the obvious disappointment she displays at separating from Bourne and the look on her face when she sees Bourne kill Deft. There is a relationship of some kind there. Nikki clearly has/had feelings for Bourne/Webb.
While I don't really want to see this franchise keep churning out sequels, I would like to know what that relationship was. Maybe they could make a chick flick called Romancing the Bourne or the Bourne Tryst....
