3.5/4 stars
For me, this movie really made the trilogy. I was a fan of the first two, but this entry really raised it to a level that was psychological and emotional on top of the fast paced sophisticated spy drama we saw before. Which is not to say that these elements were absent from the first two movies, but only that it wasn't until the finale that they struck the perfect balance.

The Bourne Identity
3/4 stars
Possibly my least favorite of the three. A bit clumsy compared to the latter two. Example: why does Castel come through Bourne's window on a wire to attack? That's a little over the top and flashy. Some points back for conveying the premise, a task the other two movies obviously aren't required to do; as well as for Clive Owen's cool, understated performance.

The Bourne Supremacy
3/4 stars
Improves upon Identity with a tighter pace and a more intense directorial style (although parts were just too hard to visually comprehend). On the downside, a lot less happens in this film than in the other two of the series.
