All rights reserved.The Bourne Ultimatum (2007, DVD)
| Movie Description 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, with Bourne once again racing around the globe, desperate to uncover the secrets of his identity. Having just lost his girlfriend and only companion, his search for answers is now fuelled by much more than his own self-preservation. The film kicks off with Bourne tracking down a British journalist (Paddy Considine) who he believes has valuable information about his past. He quickly discovers that the government conspiracy runs far deeper than he realized, and so begins a riveting, action-packed game of cat and mouse with the CIA. Bourne plows through the bad guys like a mini-tornado, and after some breathtaking fight sequences and several nail-biting car chases, he closes in on the truth in a climactic stand-off on the streets (and rooftops) of New York City. Joan Allen and David Strathairn are excellent as two battling CIA directors, and Julia Styles pops up for a small but important turn as Bourne's former government contact. Matt Damon continues to give Bourne the perfect mix of tough guy determination and sad-eyed desperation, and despite his physics-defying fists, he never comes off as the invincible super hero. Rather, the appeal of Bourne remains in his humanness--he feels pain, bloodies his knuckles, and mourns the loss of his lover. It's this emotional and physical vulnerability that keeps you on the edge of the seat, holding your breath for him. Well, that and the totally awesome fight scenes, of course.

Top Reviews  Top Shelf !!!!Review created: 11/12/07 by:  7 of 7 people found this review helpful. "That's What Makes US Special — No More Red Tape!" coos silky Deputy CIA Director Noah Vosen (David Strathairn) to colleague Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), as he explains just how it is that he can blithely order State-Sponsored Murder without asking permission. Landy's disgusted, but it is amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) who really has a problem with it; he being at the top of the Vosen's "To-Do List". As 'The Bourne Ultimatum' hits the ground running, it appears to the casual observer that Vosen has vastly underestimated his outmanned, outgunned opponent. This 3rd adaptation in the Series based on Robert Ludlum's novels is gripping; and as Bourne 'trots the globe', barely one step ahead of the stalking Grim Reaper, its adrenalin-pumped trajectory is a lot of fun. A Reporter of U.K.'s Guardian Newspaper, Simon Ross (Paddy Considine), sets the tale in motion. He has found a well-connected, well-informed source and written a story about Jason Bourne. Vosen and his cohorts at the CIA are desperate to uncover Ross' source; while Bourne looks at the man as the one who holds the key to his elusive past. So the race is on to reach the journalist, the lengths to which Vosen will go to achieve his objective offering an indication of just how far he will go and how ruthless is he is likely to be when his big prize, Bourne, comes into view. But Bourne is 'Assassin As Hero' as the race is enjoined, a marathon sprint that leads from London to Madrid to Tangiers to Manhattan. Damon's strength as an Actor is his regular guy persona; and his character's actions are anything but regular. Whatever comes his way, be it bullets, bombs, hand-to-hand combat, cars crashing and spinning out of control, it does not matter, he is ready for it all. Like the Expert Assassin, he just keeps going and going, surviving to vex his opponents at the Agency for another day. Director Paul Greengrass' Camera and Editing are as fluid as Bourne's actions. The camera is rarely still and that does lend the drama a certain propulsive momentum. Greengrass, a filmmaker certainly capable of getting under the skin with nuance and thrills 'Bloody Sunday' and 'United 93' will attest, glides along the surface with Bourne. The action never flags; and the story and the characters are engratiating. This is glossy entertainment and exhiliraing action mixed with high-octane political thriller....at it's peek !!!! Will Not Fail You !!!! A+++++++ Review ID: 10000000004653644 Was this review helpful? Report this review Matt Damon is back at it again! Another Great Movie!5 of 5 people found this review helpful. Matt Damon has created a series of great movies being Jason Bourne! The third is no exception! Another action packed movie takes Bourne back to where it all starts. They show his flash backs to where he was accepted into the program as an agent. Hes goes back to take revenge on those who have tried to get rid of the evidence (including him) of the super secret program. Jason Bourne aamazes you with not only his action moves but his quick and creative thinking like a true secret agent! Highly Recommend the entire series! Hope for another one soon!
