Jason Bourne’s story was told through a trilogy of films
that concluded nearly a decade ago. From The
Bourne Identity, which saw Matt Damon playing the title amnesiac trying to
figure out who he was, why people were trying to kill him, and how he was so
capable with his fists, his language, automobiles, and weapons, to the capper The Bourne Ultimatum in which he
remembers everything and handily exposes the CIA program that made him who he
was we saw Damon and director Paul Greengrass (for the two sequels) reinvent
the action spy thriller for the new millennium. Bourne’s story being complete,
the franchise attempted to skew in a different direction with Jeremy Renner
starring. Now Damon and Greengrass have reunited, I suppose catching on to the
popularity of series reboots that have cropped up all over Hollywood in recent
years.
