The Bourne Ultimatum, like its gritty predecessors, is constructed with hand-held camerawork intent to feign both authenticity and urgency. And to this end it’s a cohesively thrilling enterprise—during a rather elongated fight between Bourne and a would-be assassin, the camera is thrown to-and-fro, intrinsic to the plight of our amnesiac protagonist. This camerawork is all pretense, of course, serving to obscure a now familiar formula.
