When Jason Bourne is framed for a botched CIA operation he is forced to take up his former life as a trained assassin to survive. [2]

Watch Matt Damon in the exclusive trailer for ‘THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM.’ [3]

Unlike, say, the James Bond films, which are loaded with product placements and pyrotechnics, and which gravitate toward famous tourist attractions like the Millennium Dome and the Eiffel Tower, the Jason Bourne movies are filmed in a more naturalistic style, and are grounded in more mundane yet familiar locations’train stations, hotels, and housing projects that are believable precisely because they don’t seem to have been dressed up for a movie. [4]

The key cast members reprise their roles from the two previous Bourne movies, with additions such as Strathairn playing a CIA department head, Considine as a British journalist, and Ramirez as a new assassin sent to kill Bourne. [5]

He first appeared in The Bourne Identity (1980). [6]

Matt Damon continues to give Bourne the perfect mix of tough guy determination and sad-eyed desperation, and despite his physics-defying fists, he never comes off as the invincible super hero. [1]

It is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller. [...] The Bourne Supremacy re-enters the shadowy world of expert assassin Bourne (Damon), who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life. [7]

The film kicks off with Bourne tracking down a British journalist (Paddy Considine) who he believes has valuable information about his past. [1]

The Bourne Ultimatum is a 2007 spy film directed by Paul Greengrass and loosely based on the Robert Ludlum novel of the same name. [5]

Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot. [6]
