Misuse. It's Genre Savvy, not just "savvy".


* GenreSavvy:
** Marie's brother knows there's something wrong when he finds Jason in his home. He immediately asks where Marie is.
** Nicky also knows she has to flee when she sees Desh returning. Because the only reason why he would go to her is because he was ''ordered to''.

''The Bourne Ultimatum'' (2007) is the third movie in ''Film/TheBourneSeries''.

Picking up where ''Supremacy'' left off, Bourne is on another mad chase - this time, it's to pick apart all of the loose ends about his identity and life, as he sets out to track down the source of the GovernmentConspiracy that made him into a weapon and caused all the trouble in the first place. This leads him through a series of individuals with the information he needs, and he picks up an unexpected ally in the computer specialist who had been in the background of the previous films. Cleverly [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] [[OnceMoreWithClarity the second movie's final scene]] and thus takes place contemporaneously with part of ''Supremacy.''

----
!!This film provides examples of:

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Maybe with [[spoiler: Nicky.]]
---> [[spoiler: Nicky: Working with you was... difficult for me. ({{Beat}}) You really don't remember anything, do you?]]
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: During the movie, we get glimpses of the induction process Treadstone (and presumably Blackbriar) agents undergo. Specifically, Jason is told to murder a man, sitting in a room with a bag over his head, and every time he refused Jason had a bag put on ''his'' head and he was severely punished, ''vis-à-vis'' solitary confinement and waterboarding among other methods, until he finally broke and killed him. To twist the knife further it seems that Jason, who volunteered, initially seemed to think the test was to ''not'' kill the man, given how soldier-like he took the orders.
* BookEnds:
** ''The Bourne Ultimatum'' ends with Jason Bourne [[spoiler: being shot in the back, falling into water, and being lost and presumed dead by his pursuers]]. This directly mirrors the events preceding the first film, where we first see Bourne [[spoiler: being rescued from the ocean, having been shot in the back and left for dead by Wombosi and his men]].
** Also, Ultimatum ends with Landy closing off the events of the film in a government committee, in a nigh identical fashion to how it's done in the first.
* FreezeFrameBonus: While Bourne is reading the newspaper in the train, an article on the side mentions the Treadstone agent Jarda who was killed in the previous movie. His decidedly non-German name is explained by him being a Czech national who lived in Munich.
* KansasCityShuffle: Bourne's bait-and-switch ploy to get the information on [[spoiler: the Blackbriar project.]]
* KarmaHoudini: The asset who kills [[spoiler:Simon Ross. He escapes, but returns in New York to kill Bourne. Jason beats him and has him at gunpoint, but decided not to shoot.]]
* LiveActionEscortMission: Bourne guiding Ross through Waterloo Station.
* MookFaceTurn: Paz just before the end of the movie. [[spoiler:He has Bourne at gunpoint, distraught about Jason's decision to spare him earlier. Jason's CallBack to the Professor ("Look at what they made you give.") leads to Paz lowering his gun and letting Bourne go.]]
* MythologyGag: One of the "terminated" victims' files from Vosen's safe has a picture of Richard Chamberlain, who played Jason Bourne in the 1988 adaptation of ''The Bourne Identity''.
* UsefulNotes/NationalRail
* NeverFoundTheBody:
** At the very end of the film. [[spoiler: This is how Nicky knows that Bourne is still alive]].
** Subverted earlier in the movie. [[spoiler: Bourne is able to kill Desh before he can kill him or Nicky, and tells Nicky to report that they are dead. Vosen then sends men to [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy find their bodies and confirm it]]]].
* OhCrap: Vosen has two moments: when he realizes [[spoiler: that Bourne is in Vosen's office, and that Landy has faxed away all of the Blackbriar files.]]
** He has one earlier when Bourne gets himself caught on-camera helping Simon Ross:
-->'''Vosen:''' Jesus Christ. That's Jason Bourne.
* ProductPlacement: Among others are Norton Antivirus, Guardian newspaper, Motorola and Nokia phones, Mercedes and Volkswagen cars.
* SoftWater: at the end of the film, [[spoiler:Bourne survives falling from a 10 story building into water after possibly being shot.]] He was shown floating lifelessly for a few seconds, however, indicating he was stunned.
* SuperWindowJump: [[spoiler:The very end of the movie - in a variation, Bourne jumps off the roof.]]
* TheEndOfTheBeginning: At the end of Ultimatum, [[spoiler:Jason Bourne is no more, and David Webb has more or less taken his place]]
* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: When Nicky Parsons sees Desh coming to assassinate her, she immediately grabs her phone and disassembles it while making her escape into a crowded market street, throwing the separate pieces onto the ground as a trail for Jason, who is about a minute behind them, to follow.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Unlike his predecessors, Noah Vosen comes across as one of these.
