Top CriticOur hero is the ferocious but amnesiac CIA tough guy Jason Bourne played by Matt Damon, the contours of whose rock-hard pecs are traced by his drum-tight T-shirt. It's the role that turned this moon-faced boy into a man.
08/17/07
Top CriticThere is nothing cheap about the bone-shattering beauty of his car smashes, or the pitch-perfect symphonies of shattering glass.
08/17/07
Top CriticMatt Damon and Paul Greengrass deliver an action blockbuster with brawn and brains. Whether it's the final chapter or not remains to be seen.
08/17/07
Top CriticA heart-pounding, merciless thrill ride that will leave you gasping for breath.
08/14/07
Top CriticThe payoff Bourne fans have been waiting for.
08/06/07
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 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 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 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.
08/02/07
Top CriticIt's a 114-minute chase film, dashing through streets and rooftops of any number of international urban sprawls with Matt Damon's redoubtable Jason Bourne hot on the trail of -- himself.
07/25/07
Top CriticThe third and purportedly final installment in the mountingly exciting series is a pounding, pulsating thriller that provides an almost constant adrenaline surge for nearly two hours.
