For action junkies, The Bourne Ultimatum will be like a hit of pure meth. It's bravura filmmaking in the jittery, handheld, frenetically edited Paul Greengrass style.

You come out of the movie both excited and soothed, as if your body had been worked on by felt-covered drumsticks.

Faster and, if possible, furiouser than its predecessors.

A pounding, pulsating thriller that provides an almost constant adrenaline surge for nearly two hours.
