Romas M @Romas Aug 2 Greetings from Lithuania. "The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007) is the ultimate movie of this franchise, which at the time of writing this is now consist of 5 movies. The original trilogy itself was excellent, and it ended with the near perfect chase thriller "Ultimatum". At running time 1 h 45 min. This is one of the most efficiently made chase thriller that i have ever seen. Even after multiple views, it doesn't get old. Editing, sound, sound design, directing, music are the best this franchise has ever had and it all culminated in this film. No wonder it won 3 Oscar - all rightly deserved. The pacing of this movie is incredible - its basically a chase movie from start till finish. Script was also excellent. From acting department, for me it was David Strathairn who stole every scene he was in. Overall, "The Bourne Ultimatum" is a movie that moves at the breakneck speed and it never stumbles. Its an excellent finale of the original franchise, and great chase thriller in every possible way See more Rohit R @RT41221724 Jul 30 The best in the triology. Gripping as hell. Great spy thriller. See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 28 This film is exceptional because it is the franchise at full speed. The movie barely slows down, moving from London to Madrid to Tangier to New York with incredible urgency. It feels like one long chase toward the truth. Matt Damon is at his best. By this point, he completely owns the role, playing him as calm, wounded, precise, and terrifyingly capable. He barely needs dialogue because the character’s intelligence and pain are in every movement. The Waterloo Station sequence, Tangier rooftop chase, Desh fight, and New York finale are all excellent, making surveillance, pursuit, and close-quarters combat feel fresh and intense. The payoff to his identity arc is satisfying because it brings him back to the source of what made him a weapon. This film is outstanding, relentless, and one of the strongest modern action thrillers. See more Garry A @heavyg Jul 11 An absolute thrill ride from beginning to end. You can ask for a better final to the trilogy. See more Frans B @FransB Jul 7 Brilliant, as always. Very intelligently written and directed. Amazing cinematography and visually stunning. Very fast paced and action filled with constant twists (D.O. N.O.T. B.L.I.N.K.). Well, Jason Bourne must be the ultimate Hollywood spy, so there's that ... Stellar cast all excel in character convincingly. Dramatic, filled with suspense, anticipation, emotion, intrigue, humongous action sequences, adrenaline rush ride bar none. The close quarter hand to hand combat scenes must rate at the near top of moviemaking EVER! Perhaps the pinnacle in the franchise, but they are all great. This is very entertaining, captivating and memorable See more Chris L @Christoph2000 May 19 The best installment of the magnetic (though infuriatingly loose-ended, thanks to two more pointless additions post-this movie) Bourne franchise, bar none. Logistically pulling this off boggles the mind and speaks to why Paul Greengrass has always been one of our most brilliant, and definitely thrilling, directors. It also features one of Matt Damon's finest hours on-screen as he satisfyingly beats down and humiliates the high-up bad guys drunk on US hegemony. I would go so far as to designate this, along with Die Hard and Mission: Impossible - Fallout, as one of the best movies in the action genre, full stop. The shaky camerawork (many plaudits to the late Oliver Wood) is controversial on account of feeling like a rollercoaster? Good. I love rollercoasters, and this provokes the same sensation from the get-go. As with other Greengrass movies, not a frame is wasted and all the action feels bone-crunchingly real.
