The Bourne Ultimatum

8 out of 10 As I loved the first two parts of the Bourne trilogy, I was relieved that the final installment rounded it off nicely. While you could accuse it of just being one long action sequence, its consistently high tempo simply made it feel like the final third of a single film. One highlight to mention: Ultimatum has one of the best fight sequence I’ve ever seen in a film. Gritty, lengthy and far from clean, it balances realism with just enough Hollywood flourishes to make it really stand out. :) By the end, anyone hoping for the film to tie up all of its forerunners’ loose ends might be disappointed. It does just enough to resolve Bourne’s odyssey, but no more. And, for me, that was just right. A great end to a great series. :)
