cinemajesty Movie Review: "The Bourne Ultimatum" (2007)Seemingly a conclusion to a trilogy movie series of a Robert Ludlum (1927-2001) novel, brings director Paul Greengrass into his prime state as full-immersive handheld camera motion orchestrator, executed by cinematographer Oliver Wood, who captures star-actor Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in this relentless chase of action from Russia over Madrid, Tangier to New York City, even in constant angle-changing dialogue scenes of journalist-inflicted international coffee houses and surveillance CIA-offices in London and New York simultaneously, including a sublime supporting cast led by Joan Allen as Central Intelligence operative Pam Landy and David Strathairn as her superior Noah Vosen, which are embedded in an Academy-Award-winning 105-Minute-Editorial by Christopher Rouse, when Bourne must endure two peaks of superior proceeding action-movies-defining, including "Quantum of Solace" (2008) hand-to-hand combat in all-too tight apartment bathrooms to the movie series ultimate highlighted 2nd unit Streets of New York car crash captured with stellar 35mm action cams between two black-ops educated secret agents, letting actor Edgar Ramirez stand off against Matt Damon in eagerly-awaited final conclusion of suspense peaking revelations before curtain calls, when "The Bourne Ultimatum" prevails as masterpiece of a past action-cinema era, when the future needs to hold full-precision camera movements into shot-connecting, sequence-completing manners of a non-random selection.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Peter Brown A movie that I can watch dozens of times and still experience the same level of suspense, excitement and overall entertainment is what earns this 10-star rating for me. It gets me every time and does an excellent job with telling so much of the story through facial expressions and no words. Love the fast pace, the action and the attention to detail.

CinemaCocoa The super spy is Bourne.With nothing else to live for, Jason Bourne seeks the final answers to the fractured memories and ghost recollections about what was done to him.The Bourne Ultimatum is a rare third act for a film series; it isn't overblown, it doesn't contrive or skew to "enhance" the story outside of its themes for a bigger showdown. This is an effective conclusion that not only ties up the loose ends that our hero has been suffering, but also maintains a fantastic consistency with its previous films.Something very few third parts ever manage.Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass returns to direct Matt Damon, and by 2007 the two men are well versed in what works and what doesn't. Especially for the Bourne films, and they deliver a roller-coaster urban thrill ride of action. Bouncing off the foundations of Bourne Supremacy, Ultimatum strikes it rich with its two leading ladies Julia Stiles and Joan Allen. Allen playing Pamela Landy, the only surviving official who has first hand knowledge of Bourne's skills and the only one prepared to help the situation, does an excellent job filling the sympathetic gap left by Brian Cox and making a layered character who answers much of the franchise's questions. In the antagonist role, asides from the half-dozen different super agents sent after Bourne, is David Strathairn, who doesn't rise too much farther than Chris Cooper did in Identity, but is a good fit in the role as a merciless official hunting down Bourne.The role of a total schmuck who Bourne continuously runs rings around with spectacular fashion and incredible ease, more like. The film is as enjoyable and rewarding as it is thrilling and suspenseful!We see Bourne in full super spy mode in this film, he is in control and cold as ice. There are pivotal scenes that show how Bourne has tried reconciliation, he's tried to let go of what he's done in the past but he cannot shake the memories that are resurfacing. What we get is a conclusion with Bourne on the warpath. An action movie through-and-through. The film opens with a fantastic scenario in London; where Bourne via phone is navigating someone else through a crowd to not be seen by officials. That should be really hard to film, but Greengrass nails it; you know exactly what's happening, the spaces involved and line of sight. It is followed by the chase in Morocco, a chase and fight sequence that was so incredible that it influenced the Bond franchise for a decade at least, as well as other movies in the genre. Granted there's more shaky-cam in the fight sequence again, but the steadier cinematography for the initial rooftop chase and incredible tension before that makes me go easier on it.It is a tremendous movie and ties both the moodier Identity and the white-knuckled Supremacy together and actually builds on and improves them, delivering a hugely satisfying conclusion for Bourne in the process.
