Bone-crunchingly fast-paced and action-packed, the plot of Bourne Ultimatum keeps viewers enraptured until the very last scene ends. Go along for the ride of Bourne's life and decipher the clues along with him as he tries to piece together his past.

For those unaware of the Bourne saga, let me give a recap. Jason Bourne is considered a rogue agent by the Treadstone Project, which is part of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. He can't remember his past, not even his own name. It is through these films that we watch Matt Damon's character piece together a puzzle so large, it takes a trilogy to comprise all the pieces. So who is Jason Bourne, really?

That is the question of all questions - which gets answered in the final installment of the Bourne Trilogy.

It's easy to see why Matt Damon is named the "Sexiest Man Alive", and you can have your own piece of Matt Damon's pie when you purchase the last installment of the Bourne Trilogy, Bourne Ultimatum.

His character, Jason Bourne, gets put through the wringer, more so than the first two films; fist fights to the death with assassins—and yes that's supposed to be plural —a motorcycle chase with cops right after he almost dies in an explosion, and a New York City CIA chase scene that leaves anyone who watches on the edge of their seats, holding their breath, waiting for the outcome.

This is one of the best action films of the decade, and it's finally on DVD to own! Take a look at the bonus features Bourne Ultimatum offers:

• Deleted Scenes
• Man on the Move: Jason Bourne: From Berlin to Tangier, see how the film's exotic locations influenced the filmmaking!
• Rooftop Pursuit: Discover how state-of-the-art technology was used to film the incredible Tangier rooftop scene!
• Planning the Punches: Matt Damon reveals his complicated fight training
• Driving School: Join Matt Damon behind the wheel as he trains for the New York car chase scene!
• New York Chase: Get an insider's view on how the chase sequences were filmed!
• Feature Commentary with Director Paul Greengrass

Your muscles are fraught with tension throughout the entirety of the piece, and though that might seem a bit too stressful for some, this film would lose its splendor if it had been depicted any other way.

There is no excuse not to have this film as a part of your collection. None, I say! This film keeps viewers on their toes until the very last segment. Not many films have that ability anymore, another reason Bourne Ultimatum stands out among the rest, making the third in the trilogy a must-see and a keeper.
