One of the best thrillers ever.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2011)

The Bourne Ultimatum is easily one of my favorite movies. Based on the novel by Robert Ludlum it continues the fast-pace story of ex CIA agent and assassin Jason Bourne and his run around the world to find the answer to one very simple question: "Who am I?".
The story is great, exciting, mysterious with many twists but in the same time it is not hard to follow nor is it to fast. In the time of high-budget action movies with explosions and expensive action scenes but no story or sense at all, this movie, like the previous two from the series presents the best of the thriller genre. Matt Damon plays the role of incredibly skilled but "lost" assassin perfectly combining the characteristics of a killing machine he was created to be and those of a normal human being just trying to get out of it. Throughout the series you'll find yourself connecting with Bourne, felling sorry for him but after watching the Ultimatum you will most likely ask more questions. The supporting roles are all great even though they don't seem to be quite as important in the movie based around one man. But the supporting roles, such as Nicky Parsons or Pamela Landy, are important because they show us the human side of Bourne.
The camera is shaky, almost a trademark of Paul Greengrass,and it may be a turn-down for some, but I find it just perfect for this kind of movie. You feel like you are reading a great book, like you jumped in that world, like you are the person filming Jason Bourne in his quest for answers.
This is perhaps the best real thriller movie I have ever watched and one of the best action movies ever, showing once more how much can be done with gripping story, great leading role and good support even if you don't have sky-high budget and marketing. This is a must-watch for everyone.
