There’s no getting around it: there was simply no better summer blockbuster in 2007 than the astonishing The Bourne Ultimatum.
It’s a film that defies expectations in many ways. Firstly, it’s a third entry in a trilogy that by some distance in the best in an already-compelling franchise. Secondly, whenThe Bourne Ultimatum kickstarts with a ferocious energy and pace, you sit there and rightly expect it not to keep the momentum going. But it does. And does it astonishingly well. Just witness the breathless sequence through Waterloo Station, convince yourself that the film has peaked then, then go and watch them top it later on in the movie.
The film itself has many trump cards, not least its leading man. Matt Damon fits the character of reluctant lead Jason Bourne perfectly, but the trick is to give him some excellent supporting players to work against. Thus, The Bourne Ultimatum also stars the excellent pair of David Straitharn and a returning Joan Allen, along with Albert Finney, Paddy Considine and Julia Stiles too.
But the hidden hero of The Bourne Ultimatum is director Paul Greengrass. Arguably one of the most interesting and talented directors working today (he was rightly Oscar-nominated for his haunting United 93), Greengrass has fashioned a genuinely thrilling action thriller, that bursts with an energy and relentlessness that you simply have no right to expect. That he also managed to wrap up the story Jason Bourne’s quest for his identity in the midst of it is all the more astonishing.
A terrific end to an already-impressive trilogy, there’s little else ot say about The Bourne Ultimatum, which is simply a near flawless piece of blockbuster entertainment. Put simply: don’t miss this movie. --Simon Brew

I think it must be me who's missing something here... I completely disagree with the negative reviews on here. I think the Bourne trilogy is one of the strongest I've seen for years and that includes the 'cash cow' that is the Mission Impossible. Matt Damon is very convincing in this role and although I think The Bourne Identity is still my favourite of the three, this really was a great ending. It's non-stop action all the way and a keep-you-guessing plot throughout. I loved the long action sequences and the shaky camera style which really adds to the atmosphere. You also really get a sense of the locations that are used in the film too - loved all the shots in Tangiers! There are plenty of other action movies out there right now, but if you want well thought out, directed and excuted action sequences - and a good thriller then the Bourne Ultimatum is for you.

The Bourne Ultimatum is a tightly plotted and fast paced action thriller. The character Jason Bourne continues to develop and unfold in spite of this being the 3rd film in the series. I felt that this was a vast improvement on the 2nd film which was a little hard to follow in places. If this film has one irritation it is the flashy camerwork which at times makes the action hard to follow, and is a little over-stylized unneccessarily.
However, the film never feels like it's starting to drag at any point and the performances are all great. The plot is full of clever twists and reveals to, so there's no time for your brain to switch off. A very impressive 3rd part of the series.

Matt Damon was never on my list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum.
If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits all the information you've gathered in 'Identity' and 'Supremacy' and we finally see the full picture of Jason Bourne's troubled past.
The Bourne Ultimatum has a great plot and with fantastic action and fight sequences Ultimatum ranks as one of the best action movies of 2007.
