Despite all the globe-trotting, the on location shooting combined with the gritty street-level acrobatics lend a palpable sense of reality and suspense.

Reviews for The Bourne Ultimatum
1 - 20 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticAs good as the first two films were, as well as they redefined the action espionage thriller, the third film falls victim to its own innovation.
08/31/07
Top CriticA multi-layered, multi-national thriller that delivers on every count, including raising issues of morality, which are at the heart of the film
08/25/07
Top CriticGreengrass comes full circle from the War on Terror film that bit its tongue to the popcorn flick that speaks volumes.

Um desfecho à altura do ótimo padrão estabelecido pela trilogia, ainda surpreende graças a uma inteligente estrutura que, brincando com a linha narrativa da série, comprova o cuidadoso trabalho dos realizadores em sua concepção.

The Bourne Ultimatum keeps the pedal to the floor and burns serious rubber.
02/02/09
A significant achievement, held back but not much diminished by the unavoidable excesses of the genre.
10/18/08
two hours of powerful action and ultimate escapism
08/17/08
Ultimatum isn't just the best film of the franchise - it's the best action film of 2007.
07/23/08
As spy flicks go, The Bourne Ultimatum is the perfect chaser" to this successful series.
07/22/08
It twists and turns without losing its footing, and its hero, an international man of mystery even to himself, is always ahead of the game, daring his would-be assailants - and the audience - to guess his next move. The trick is to try and keep up.

The Bourne Ultimatum rencontre, et surpasse même, haut la main les standards de qualité déjà très élevés fixés par ses prédécesseurs.
03/27/08
Don't get me wrong, I love these films. But they really are just mindless action movies -- just done INCREDIBLY well.
03/03/08
Everything in The Bourne Ultimatum is faster, grittier and more brutal
02/28/08
In this era of elaborate, futuristic anti-terrorist operations, it's apparently gadget accessorized couch potato sleuthing all the way.
12/31/07
A trio of superb cat-and-mouse sequences ... more effectively pinpoint Bourne's psychological anxiety and confusion than Damon's robotic, one-note performance.
12/18/07
Como film de acción es excelente, pero todo sucede tan rápido y muchas cosas se resuelven de manera tan fácil (...) que en definitiva sólo interesa por su tenso y enérgico despliegue físico.
11/05/07
Because the Bourne films haven't put up the blockbuster numbers that warrant Entertainment Weekly cover stories they aren't recognized for what they are - the smartest and most technically superb action films since Die Hard.
10/29/07
The adrenaline rush the film produces disguises a rather thin plotline, and helps the viewer overlook the nearly suffocating air of self-seriousness.
