Reviews for The Bourne Ultimatum
Top CriticWatching The Bourne Ultimatum is like being strapped to a vibrating bed set on high for two hours in a cheap motel.
08/13/07
Top CriticA great action movie, exhilarating and neatly crafted, the kind of picture that will still look good 20 or 30 years from now.
08/06/07
Top CriticWe've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on.
08/06/07
Top CriticFans of 24 will be amazed to find a hero who makes Jack Bauer seem like a study in sissydom.
08/06/07
Top CriticWhile Ultimatum may be the lesser of the three Jason Bourne movies, it is only so because the bar set by its predecessors was so uncommonly high.
08/03/07
Top CriticBursts with so much amped-up energy, you may need to rest once it's finally done.
08/03/07
Top CriticI must have breathed during The Bourne Ultimatum because I didn't pass out in my seat -- but I'm sure those were bruises on my throat. Gripping? Yes.
08/03/07
Top CriticInsistent, ingenious and slammed full of five heart attacks worth of action, The Bourne Ultimatum may be the best conspiracy action-thriller ever made, a beautifully crafted mix of mayhem, well-earned paranoia and unlikely introspection.
08/03/07
Top CriticThe third chapter in the globe-trotting -- more like globe-speeding, actually -- saga of Jason Bourne, a.k.a. the Spy With No Memory, is easily the best of the three.
08/03/07
Top CriticThe first by Doug Liman was best, but the second and third by Greengrass come close because of a strict consistency in tone and talent.
08/03/07
Top CriticThe Bourne Ultimatum leaps, scampers, scraps and drives its way into the pantheon of all-time great action movies.
08/03/07
Top CriticUltimatum is a tribute to Bourne's determination, his driving skills, his intelligence in out-thinking his masters and especially his good luck.
08/03/07
Top CriticThis is a chase film, pushed to the fragmented limits of abstraction, that rattles and jolts and explodes like an intricately designed drum solo.
08/03/07
Top CriticFor Jason Bourne, who rises and rises again in this fantastically kinetic, propulsive film, resurrection is the name of the game, just as it is for franchises.
08/03/07
Top CriticThis is a film about momentum, gravity, trajectory. It's a physics lesson wrapped up in an espionage thriller, and when director Greengrass yells 'Action!' he means it.
08/03/07
Top CriticDamon lends an air of conscious integrity to the part, a quality of reflective introspection that acts as an amazingly effective ballast against the complete implausibility of his continued survival.
08/02/07
Top CriticHere's hoping Damon is Bourne again.
08/02/07
Top CriticThe Bourne series makes for an unusual action franchise. All the movies are exhilarating, including the third installment, The Bourne Ultimatum, which opens tonight and leaves a bruise.
08/02/07
Top CriticThe battle is as long as it is ferocious, and in the audience I saw the movie with, nobody took a breath until it was over. Then they exhaled in a noise that exploded into a cheer.
