This puts Bourne in the line of fire of CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), and his protégé, Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander). See, Parsons is now working for non-governmental secret stealers when she finds out some stuff she thinks Bourne might want to know. When things start up this time, Bourne has been hiding, keeping out of sight and out of trouble, but it doesn’t take long for Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles, reprising her role) to find Bourne and get him in a whole lot of trouble. It may be hard to believe, but “The Bourne Ultimatum” was released in 2007.

At this point it is moderately less thrilling to see Matt Damon’s Bourne escape yet again, to bring the fight to the nefarious government forces yet again, to uncover buried secrets from his past yet again.ĭamon has reteamed with Paul Greengrass for this fourth entry in the Jason Bourne portion of the Bourne franchise (not to be confused with the non-Jason Bourne “Bourne Legacy” portion), and the only reason it works as well as it does is that it’s been the better part of a decade since the last time Damon and Greengrass collaborated on a “Bourne” film. Here’s the thing though – they’ve used it over and over and over again.

It is actually, potentially, a pretty thrilling scenario and that’s probably why the Jason Bourne movies have used it over and over and over again. We see the non-official government forces closing in as well. We see the official government forces circling. All he has to do his meet his contact in the city square. But now, now is his chance to finally get the answers he deserves. He doesn’t know all of his own history and every time he learns something new, the world around him crumbles just a little bit more. Imagine, if you will, our hero, a superspy who just wants to learn the truth.
