Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) by Raphael Georg K — 06 Apr 2013

One of the best franchises ever made, a breathtaking trilogy, and a stunning conclusion! "The Bourne Ultimatum" can be one of the best trilogys ever made, giving a phenomenal show, ending in a fantastic way the journey of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) after the truth.

The story can be very loyal to predecessors and can mix a bit of "Identity" and "Supremacy", both at events and also the characters. The film starts in the middle and ends shortly after the end of "Supremacy", that's where the screenplay by Tony Gilroy and Scott Z. Burns impresses, being written with the greatest possible mastery and deepening the character of Bourne deeper than had ever been. Taking it to a new and dangerous journey to discover the origin of the memories that haunt his past and finally its origins. A journey that will take him to more epics dangers like never before faced. And the direction of Paul Greengrass with elements of action over the story is simply SUPERB!

The action sequences of the film can be epic and electrifying at every passing minute, Paul can put them very realistic and puts the audience in the place of Bourne, as if we were there in the midst of all the rush breaking windows, knocking three men at the same time, falling from buildings inside a car and get out alive .... it's just AWESOME as hell!

The old cast is still fantastic as ever, as Matt Damon who gives an EXELENT performance of Bourne as never before.

One of the best endings to a saga, being faithful to the predecessors, deepening the character more, the levels of performance, technical history as the movie is just FANTASTIC from start to finish. "Ultimatum" manages to be not only the best film of the franchise, as well as one of the best Action-Thrillers ever made!
