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

 The Best Bourne yet December 1, 2008
The third (and final???) installment of the Bourne series once again finds Paul Greengrass at the helm which means we are in capable hands. Matt Damon reprises his role as Jason Bourne, the CIA-trained assasin who is struggling to put together the pieces of his past which have been shrouded in mystery ever since the first installment.
Greengrass' "shaky cam" approach lends the film a thrilling sence of urgency and tension. We feel right there in the thick of the action with Jason Bourne as he dodges CIA operatives who are out to kill him on his trek home to Washington DC where he was trained and hopes to unlock the mystery of who he truly is.
This is easily the best installment of the series. The action is relentless from the beginning and even when the movie slows down to catch its breath, the tension can still be felt. There is an absolutely amazing figh scene between Bourne and a fellow agent that concludes in a bathroom with a towel being used as the weapon of choice. I won't say any more about that. There is also a pulse pounding car chase sequence near the end of the film that begins, yes...begins, with a car being driven off the roof of a parking garage.
Of course all of this action, as thrillingly filmed as it is, would mean nothing if the film didn't have a human heart. Matt Damon's performance as Bourne is wrought with emotion and remorse. You can feel the regret, sorrow, loss and anger in even the subtlest of actions. His character's inner torment is written all over his face.
When the film finally arrives at it's conclusion, it manages to pull off a unique feat: it provides a satisfying sense of closure even as it completely alters our perception of Bourne and opens up a whole new series of questions about what made him who he is. This movie ultimately does what any great movie does: it leaves us immensely satisfied even while we want more. Although in this case, knowing less about the central figure may be the best way to wrap up the series.
 Would have been OK if not for 2 major flaws November 12, 2008

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? November 4, 2008
This was not a disappointment. If you order the $9.99 widescreen it comes bare bones. If you like the inserts this has none.
Bourne Ultimatum October 31, 2008
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
