Top CriticA great action movie, exhilarating and neatly crafted, the kind of picture that will still look good 20 or 30 years from now.

We've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on.
08/06/07
Thrillers this effective are often called "tight," and it's true that this picture doesn't waste a second.
08/06/07
Fans of 24 will be amazed to find a hero who makes Jack Bauer seem like a study in sissydom.
08/06/07
The pouty stylings of Julia Stiles, whose cherubic face looks less at home in the spy biz than in the business of shooting arrows at would-be lovers.
08/06/07
From the opening frame until the exciting finale, director Paul Greengrass hits the accelerator pedal and except for several pauses keeps this baby running at full throttle.

It says something about the Bourne series that it is cast with people one doesn't ordinarily associate with this kind of film.
08/06/07
The Bourne movies are about pursuit and assault; they're perpetual-motion machines. As such, they entertain inside the moment but leave you with few leftovers.
08/05/07
Smart and sharp, crazy-fast-paced and great looking, The Bourne Ultimatum is popcorn with style and a brain - what James Bond once was and now aspires to become again.
08/05/07
[A] masterpiece of breathless relentlessness, of spectacular yet lean-and-mean setpieces uncluttered by superfluous digressions or tangents...
08/05/07
The post-9-11 plotline is designed to question the CIA's rationalization of resorting to rendition and suspect interrogation tactics in the age of the Patriot Act. How much harrowing paranoia can you handle?
08/05/07
A rousing travelogue of espionage.
08/05/07
That rare threequel that stands up quite well to the movies that came before it, and it is easily one of the most satisfying action movies of the summer.
08/04/07
It's the best action picture in decades, a two hour high-tech chase around the world that surpasses everything that's come before it including Oscar winning classics like 'The French Connection' and 'Bullitt'.
08/04/07
Director Paul Greengrass insists on utilizing cameramen with Parkinson's disease and editors more concerned with celluloid masturbation than continuity.
08/04/07
Greengrass maintains the edgy energy he injected into part two to give us the summer's most intelligent, satisfying blockbuster.
08/04/07
The espionage is great. Surveillance dodging scenes are more exciting than the most outrageous action sequences, and everyone talking in codes, testing each other and lying keeps the audience guessing.
08/04/07
There’s unfortunately not necessarily reason to think that my own amalgam for the last two Bourne films — “arction,” a halved blend of art and action — will catch on.
08/03/07
The Bourne Ultimatum is one of 2007's best action movies and more than lives up to expectations.
