Probably the best movie of the summer - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

This is fine film-making from top down. The Direction keeps the action flowing, the story is clean flows well, the acting is top-notch. The camerawork is frenetic to keep up with the pace (long live handhelds!) and truly the Bourne franchise has come into its own, alongside Bond...but Bourne is grittier, more real, and doesn't rely on gadgets and big explosions to make even intimate moments tense and exciting. This is probably the best movie of the summer so far. A few wasted visual opportunities, but none-the-less thrilling. Seen in a packed house, the crowd was cheering along with hearty applause at the finish.
