Reviews for The Bourne Ultimatum
61 - 80 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
As a masterpiece of editing, camerawork, and multiple-perspective tension-building in the vein of Hitchcock and De Palma, it is testament to the range and depth of what multivaried thrills The Bourne Ultimatum has to offer.
08/11/07
There is lots of action and lots of cryptic espionage conversations.
08/11/07
A wildly kinetic thrill-ride that manages to respect your intelligence with smart writing and fine performances while still jolting your adrenaline levels to unsurpassed heights with jaw-dropping action setpieces
08/10/07
Is this stylized action -- obscured by shaky camerawork and in-your-face edits -- really more exciting than the eye-popping stunts that unfold in real time in a cheesy martial-arts adventure like 'Ong-Bak'?
08/10/07
An irresistible rush of action and suspense, The Bourne Ultimatum also shows that a hellacious action movie need not be mindless.
08/10/07
...a moving and sometimes gut wrenching account of this latest holocaust. But, with so much focus on Iraq, this fine documentary may fall by the wayside.
08/10/07
More of the same, but who said there's anything wrong with that?
08/09/07
...one of the most exciting and thoroughly compelling thrillers to emerge in quite some time.
08/09/07
Best three-peat of the summer in a season filled with them.
08/09/07
As the Moby song says, I would stand in line for this.
08/09/07
When it's not fast and furious, The Bourne Ultimatum settles for slick and noisy... and it's often hard to tell these two moods apart.
08/09/07
The movie’s frantic pace gives you an adrenaline rush, but its cinematographic and editing style gives you a headache.
08/08/07
One of the lengthy chase scenes is especially impressive and makes one wonder if Damon elected to forego a straight salary in order to be paid by the kilometer.
08/08/07
This film is less interested in good plot than it is in having long, drawn-out action chases of which there are entirely too many.
08/08/07
With its first-rate acting, sharp screenplay, tight direction, and thrilling action, this is the most satisfying sequel of the season. It's also the best of the Bourne pictures.
08/08/07
...Damon takes all the mayhem in stride with square-jawed deadpan insouciance...
08/08/07
I'm sure it's a good film, but I'm not convinced that it's quite within spitting distance of greatness.
08/08/07
Termine de belle façon une trilogie de thrillers pour adultes, des films d'action qui ne prennent pas les cinéphiles pour des cons.
08/08/07
It has become a kind of standard in the spy action genre.
