The Bourne Ultimatum Trailer & Photos
All Critics (239) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (224) | Rotten (15) | DVD (28)
Bourne -- or whatever his name really is -- is such a resourceful and reckless agent of chaos, we thrill to him despite the fact that he's officially a non-entity.
Top CriticWhile the crunchy fights and unflagging pace ensure this delivers as genre spectacle, the muddy ethics also make for a pleasing contrast with standard-issue wham-bammery.
Not only far and away this summer's best three-peat, it's a pulse-pounding peak to Matt Damon's spy trilogy.
Watching The Bourne Ultimatum is like being strapped to a vibrating bed set on high for two hours in a cheap motel.
A great action movie, exhilarating and neatly crafted, the kind of picture that will still look good 20 or 30 years from now.
We've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on.
Nothing is overplayed, from the scary surveillance tracking methods to the high-level corruption, making this a superbly crafted masterclass in intelligent action film-making.
It may seem odd to praise a big-budget action flick for its maturity, but Paul Greengrass' The Bourne Ultimatum unequivocally proves that a summer blockbuster needn't be brainless to be exciting.
You know, I used to think Matt Damon was kinda like a Streisand, but he's rocking the shit in this one.
Beneath the heart-racing action, Ultimatum strains to show how aggressive Bush-era tactics lead to our moral ruin.
The third Bourne movie keeps us enthralled by tapping into the surveillance-induced paranoia of the CCTV era.
We need an action hero to fit the times. Someone confused. Jason Bourne.
The Bourne Ultimatum is a thrilling and riveting action movie, played out on a global backdrop and a liberal political tone.
Greengrass comes full circle from the War on Terror film that bit its tongue to the popcorn flick that speaks volumes.
The best action film so far this summer.
Um desfecho à altura do ótimo padrão estabelecido pela trilogia, ainda surpreende graças a uma inteligente estrutura que, brincando com a linha narrativa da série, comprova o cuidadoso trabalho dos realizadores em sua concepção.
The Bourne Ultimatum keeps the pedal to the floor and burns serious rubber.
A significant achievement, held back but not much diminished by the unavoidable excesses of the genre.
two hours of powerful action and ultimate escapism
Ultimatum isn't just the best film of the franchise - it's the best action film of 2007.
As spy flicks go, The Bourne Ultimatum is the perfect chaser to this successful series.
It twists and turns without losing its footing, and its hero, an international man of mystery even to himself, is always ahead of the game, daring his would-be assailants - and the audience - to guess his next move. The trick is to try and keep up.
The Bourne Ultimatum rencontre, et surpasse même, haut la main les standards de qualité déjà très élevés fixés par ses prédécesseurs.
Don't get me wrong, I love these films. But they really are just mindless action movies -- just done INCREDIBLY well.
