The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

It is "Weapons of Mass Distortion" by The Crystal Method from their album "Legion of Boom," previously heard in the finale of Blade: Trinity (2004).

A romantic relationship could be implied by Nicky's willingness to help Bourne escape and by her vague and somewhat nervous statement to Bourne that "it was difficult for me with you," a possible allusion to a prior relationship that Bourne says he does not recall.

The reason can be traced back to the first film. Doug Liman, director of The Bourne Identity, decided to deviate from the original plot of the first novel in order to update the story to fit an early 21st century, post-9/11 setting instead of the post-Vietnam War setting of the novels. This had an effect on the next two movies, which had to be consistent with the one(s) before, not necessarily with Ludlum's books.

Also, the main antagonist of the novel was the real-life figure, Carlos the Jackal, who was at large it was written in 1980, but eventually captured in 1994 and thus his presence would not fit the new setting.

"The Bourne Ultimatum, the third in the movie trilogy loosely based on Robert Ludlum's novels, is superior to its immediate predecessor but not quite as good as the original. The action is this movie is top-notch (despite the spastic camera)--full of suspense and kinetic energy--but the film doesn't have as much heart or emotional depth as The Bourne Identity."

-- James Berardinelli, ReelViews
