Once again, however, the movie just doesn't live up to the standards that the previous installments established, not reaching the edge-of-your-seat level of crazy accomplished by the Russian showdown in Bourne Supremacy or the New York chase in Bourne Ultimatum. Asset battle in Athens, and they are outfitted with the director's intense, albeit divisive, shaky cam style. Paul Greengrass certainly does set up a couple of big blockbuster beats, including a car-smashing trip through Las Vegas and some Bourne vs. This urgency is particularly forced because the CIA is about to embark on a new program called Iron Hand involving the participation of Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed), a tech genius about to launch a new social media platform called Deep Dream.Ĭontinuing that theme is also the movie's big action moments, which are fun, but also surprisingly few and far between. This time around, the antagonists at the government organization are represented in Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), the agency's new cyber expert an unnamed Asset (Vincent Cassel) with a personal score to settle with Bourne, and Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), who wants the rogue agent captured at all costs.
Much like the audience watching the story unfold, Bourne is thrown for a complete loop and is totally confused after this revelation, and once again finds himself propelled into an adventure - and the CIA once again on his tail. This life is disrupted, however, when Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) comes back into his world, having hacked into the CIA and discovered something new and important about the Treadstone program: it was actually created by Jason Bourne's father (bum bum BUM!).
Based on a screenplay by Paul Greengrass and Christopher Rouse, the film picks up years after the events of Bourne Ultimatum and finds the titular hero living in obscurity and on the fringe in Greece, passing time by participating in boxing matches - clearly unable to entirely let go of the violence that had been drilled into him.
