Thriller film narrative

Bourne Ultimatum

The thriller film I have decided to write the narrative on is the Bourne Ultimatum. It is a spy thriller and hybrid film as it is also partly action.
Bourne supremacy was left on a cliff-hanger and this film continues from that by showing what happens towards the end of it. Jason Bourne, the main protagonist (played by Matt Damon), is shown attempting to escape from the police despite having being wounded from a gunshot.
Later on in the film, a man by the name of Daniels has a meeting with another man about treadstone. Meanwhile, Jason goes to Paris to tell Marie’s brother that she has died. Jason Bourne then needs to arrange a meeting with Ross in a station in London, but doesn’t know straight away that Ross is being watched. When Jason finds out, he attempts to save Ross with a phone call giving him directions on how to escape as there are orders sent to kill Ross. Despite Jason’s attempt to save Ross, he eventually panics and gets sniped by an assassin. Bourne then finds a clue that leads him to Daniels. Bourne heads over to Daniels’ office, but there are also CIA sent there. When they find out Daniels isn’t there, there is an action scene where there is a fight between Bourne and the agents. A woman called Nicky is with the CIA and tells Bourne Daniels’ location. She also tells the CIA that Daniels has already escaped , so they think he’s out of the building.
Nicky later on tries to help Bourne once again by providing him with info that he uses to follow Desh, who is an assassin also after Daniels. Desh finds out Nicky tries to help Bourne and is told to come after them after he kills Daniels. Daniels is soon after killed by Desh’s planted bomb.
Later on, Bourne travels to New York, where he tricks his way into Vosen’s office by getting him and his team to come out. When they find out Bourne is in the office, Vosen sends his men to rush up to the office to get Bourne, but they are too late because he has already gone and taken the documents with him. He Is soon after found and ends up in a car chase. After he escapes, Bourne finds a woman and gives her the stolen documents.
After having a memory, Bourne remembers his real name is Captain David Webb and how he used to kill. There is a chase to a roof where Bourne after has a gun pointed to him by Paz, but after they talk, Paz lowers his weapon and lets him go. Just as Bourne leaves, Vosen appears and shoots at him. Here, it is a cliff-hanger because you don’t know hat happens to him, but in the final scene, Bourne is shown swimming away.
