    "Extreme Ways" by Moby

    In case you are interested, that's the title of the song that starts the credit roll at the end of the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Supremacy.

    It opens with the shrieking notes of synthesized violins rising like sirens, followed by a kick drum, bass and electric piano that takes you by surprise and sends you home from the theater in a weird groove.

    If they do it again for "Ultimatum" it's going to get as familiar as the James Bond theme.
