Description

Matt Damon returns as highly trained assassin Jason Bourne, who is on the hunt for the agents who stole his memory and true identity. With a new generation of skilled CIA operatives tracking his every move, Bourne is in a non-stop race around the globe as he finally learns the truth behind his mysterious past. Loaded with incredible fight and chase sequences, it's the exhilarating movie with "mind-blowing action" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) that you can't afford to miss!
Amazon.com

The often breathtaking, final installment in the Bourne trilogy finds the titular assassin with no memory closing in on his past, finally answering his own questions about his real identity and how he came to be a seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Matt Damon returns for another intensely physical performance as Jason Bourne, the rogue operative at war with the CIA, which made him who and what he is and managed to kill his girlfriend in the series' second film, The Bourne Supremacy. Now looking for payback, Bourne goes in search for the renegade chief of CIA operations in Europe and North Africa, partnering for a time with a mysterious woman from his past (Julia Stiles) and constantly--constantly--on the run from assassins, intelligence foot soldiers, and cops. Directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93) with the director’s thrilling, trademark textures and shaky, documentary style, The Bourne Ultimatum is largely a succession of action scenes that reveal a lot about the story’s characters while they’re under duress. Joan Allen, Albert Finney, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, and Paddy Considine comprise the film’s terrific supporting cast, and the well-traveled movie leads viewers through Turin, Madrid, Tangiers, Paris, London, and New York. Overall, this is a satisfying conclusion to Bourne’s exciting and protracted mystery. --Tom Keogh

Would have been OK if not for 2 major flaws - Reviewed on 2008-11-12

Not a bad thriller, but this film has two major problems:
First, it is filmed with a "modern" shaky effect that gets tiring after a while.
Second, there is (to my taste) a major scenario bug: without giving up the end, there is a moment when Bourne is on the phone with his worst CIA ennemy after Bourne managed to lure that guy and his minions out of their building on a false pretext. At that point, the super pro and efficient Bourne decides to tell his ennemy where he is, launching a 10 minutes chase episode. Why on earth would Bourne feel he has to give up his location ? There is "some" credibility (that is to say, if you agree to go along with the genre) in the rest of the movie, this kills it.
Now Nikki is involved, another movie? - Reviewed on 2008-11-04

This was not a disappointment. If you order the $9.99 widescreen it comes bare bones. If you like the inserts this has none.

Jason Bourne is still kicking [...] Hope there's a 4th. Matt Damon is one of my favorite actors and no body else could Ever play Jason Bourne...Nobody.This movie sums up a lot of unanwser questions but leaves room enough for another movie. It's Great!!

This is a good movie, but you get motion sickness watching the dialogue. The "artistic" motion of the camera looks like the person holding the camera was drunk and gets extremely distracting making it hard to watch
Hopefully not the last of Bourne - Reviewed on 2008-10-15

I've just received the Bourne Ultimatum and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. I can't find it in stores in Melbourne, so I've sourced it here. I like the Bourne movies because they are so real...a confession, I've fantasised about being Jason Bourne. Matt Damon is believable as the troubled amnesiac black ops agent.
The only problem is that there are unresolved issues between Bourne and Julia Stiles (I forget her characters name). There are hints of an emotional involvement, and I strongly suspect that it was she who recruited Bourne into the CIA. But apart from this it's a great movie.
