"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+++++++Read full review
It's simple. The Bourne Ultimatum is action greatness. Especially in its HD version, the film is truly unbelievable. Action looks great, but when put in HD, it's magical. Matt Damon delivers his usual, intense performance, and the cast around him do a great job. As a fan of the trilogy, the third installment is by far my personal favorite. The plot is riveting, the action is exciting, and the HD picture is breathtaking. I recommend this to all. It's one of my favorites. 10/10!!
What I like about the movie is the life long suspence that is carried out to take this guys memory,indentity and to kill him as everyone knows him as Jason Bourne.Every where he goes there is a hitman waiting to take him out because he knows to much.I bought the movie because I love the story line and in my eyes Matt Damon is a great actor. He plays that role pretty damn good.
The best one of the trilogy!!! Never seen a movie that keep improving on the next movie, out of the trilogy (first 3 movies) even that there are more this one was the best!

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!
