Screenwriter Tony Gilroy, who's been around the block with Bourne on the first two pictures, juggles all of this to-ing and fro-ing with admirable precision.

Consensus: The Bourne Ultimatum is an intelligent, finely tuned non-stop thrill ride. Another strong performance from Matt Damon and sharp camerawork from Paul Greengrass make this the finest installment of the Bourne trilogy.
Theatrical Release:16-08-2007
Synopsis: The government's most wanted amnesiac super-spy returns in this thrilling third installment in the Jason Bourne franchise. THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM picks up where the THE BOURNE SUPREMACY left off,... [More]

Faster and, if possible, furiouser than its predecessors.
08/02/07
A hell of a show.
08/02/07
Although the picture doesn't really do much except run and jump and punch and explode, it does all those things extremely well, and is viscerally very exciting.
08/02/07
It's frenetic to the point of crazy while achieving a mark that barely exceeds mediocre.
08/02/07
Damon, however, is perfect. He doesn't say a lot, but he's able to suggest the turmoil and mistrust of a man with no memory.
08/02/07
We're unsure if there's to be a fourth film in the franchise; but if there's not, Jason Bourne's going out in real style.
08/02/07
I don't know that if an action film can, in fact, be art -- but I do know that The Bourne Ultimatum has stuck with me, and will stick with me, in ways that will linger for a while.

Will someone get this man a steadicam?
08/02/07
Another potent PowerBar of a movie, all protein and no fat. I sat there transfixed and chuckling with joy as Greengrass let. Her. Rip.
08/02/07
Summer's prime noisemaker, with twice the adrenaline of Live Free or Die Hard and more crushed metal than Transformers.
08/02/07
Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon team up again in this third - and final? - installment of the reliably thrilling but increasingly repetitious Bourne series.
08/02/07
The way that Bourne gets from one place to another with such speed and no obvious source of money makes me wish he was my travel agent.
08/02/07
The propulsive strength of Paul Greengrass' direction and the intensity of the non-stop chases usher you past any questions into a new reason to cheer.
08/02/07
Like the other two, Ultimatum has little problem working up a frantic pace & maintaining it. However, Ultimatum has other problems that make it the least effective Bourne.
08/01/07
It’s no small feat getting to the third movie in a series and still managing to create something watchable. More remarkable still -- unprecedented, really -- is making a movie that’s actually better than its predecessors.
08/01/07
This adrenaline-charged, bullet-riddled sprint from Moscow to New York is the best of the Bourne films, a politically-charged actioner with chases, brawls, shootouts and dry wit that never relies on one-liners.
08/01/07
Should be one of the best action films of the summer, but the director is so enamored with his hand-held camera technique that the film becomes difficult to endure.
08/01/07
...a whip-smart rollercoaster ride of bullets and baddies.
08/01/07
A knockout roller-coaster ride custom-made for adrenaline junkies, it’s easily the savviest and most satisfying spy movie in years, besting both of its preceding Bournes -- Identity and Supremacy.
