Like many high-ranking CIA officials before him, the CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) is determined to get rid of a rogue agent who gave so many troubles and headaches to the agency and will definitely cause more problems. Not so surprisingly, the people in CIA have already come into the picture when Parsons contacts Bourne. Nicolette “Nicky” Parsons (Julia Stiles), an ex-CIA agent who came to cross over the line as helping Bourne in “The Bourne Ultimatum”, recently managed to extract a heap of top secret computer files from the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and some of them are involved with something Bourne must know for a certain personal reason. Not long after that, a figure from his past suddenly appears in front of him.

Although he does know now who he really was both before and after he volunteered for a top secret CIA program, but he has been aimlessly drifted around the world while still hiding from the watchful global monitoring of CIA, and we see him throwing himself into an illegal fistfight match held somewhere in the Eastern Europe region. That movie and its two following sequels “The Bourne Supremacy” (2004) and “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2007) revolved around his perilous journey of self-discovery and redemption, and it seemed around the finale of “The Bourne Ultimatum” that he finally attained what he had struggled and fought for.Īround 10 years have passed since that point, but Bourne still looks troubled when we meet him at the beginning of “Jason Bourne”. Although it serves us with gritty, intense action sequences as busily hopping around different locations along with its lone hero, the movie suffers from the inherent lack of what makes its better predecessors so interesting and exciting, and it feels repetitive at every point even though the people behind it try as much as they can.Īt the beginning of “The Bourne Identity” (2002), CIA agent Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) happened to become totally amnesiac due to the disastrous failure of his latest assassination operation, and he soon found himself in a very dangerous and confusing situation as trying to know who the hell he was.

As I watched “Jason Bourne” during this Wednesday evening, my mind kept making comparisons while feeling the increasing detachment toward actions presented on the screen.
