Lacking Intelligence: Even the Ever-Cool Matt Damon Can't Salvage Thisnew
It's admirable when a director tries to go beyond just blowing things up in a war movie (as Kathryn Bigelow did successfully with The Hurt Locker) — but good intentions are never enough. Witness the thrown-together optical assault that is Green Zone.

'The Bourne Ultimatum': Dirty Secretsnew
It is gratifying that the zenith of a summer movie season otherwise headlined by shape-shifting robots and an aging '80s action icon comes in the form of throwback to the espionage thrillers of the 1970s updated as compelling, exhilarating zeitgeist.

The Bourne Ultimatum
