Or at least, he thought he had it all figured out. As the blackest of black-ops agents, Bourne had traversed three movies’ worth of twists, turns, and thrills to figure out who turned him from a (fairly) ordinary guy named David Webb into a human killing machine know as Jason Bourne. Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of Universal Pictures’ Bourne franchise, which finds the CIA’s most lethal former operative drawn out of the shadows.īack in 2007, when we last saw Jason Bourne, he was giving the CIA an Ultimatum. While we don’t have 90 seconds, we can reiterate the Bourne franchise in 100 words** or less.ALICIA VIKANDER as Heather Lee in “Jason Bourne,” the action-thriller in which Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role. Universal had the same idea, and released a clip of Damon trying to recap the whole thing in 90 seconds, but unfortunately the video decided to breeze past some very important details about Damon’s amnesiac covert-ops character. And so, as a service to you, we’d like to catch you up with all all the convoluted twists and turns the Bourne series has to offer, from Damon’s debut in 2002’s original to the wonderfully forgettable 2012 spinoff The Bourne Legacy. The Bourne franchise was one of the most important and influential action series of the last decade, noted for its gritty realism instead of the increasing use of spy movie CG fakery.Īnd yet, despite (or perhaps because of) its incredible action set pieces - like the Waterloo Station sequence in The Bourne Ultimatum or the absolutely bonkers car chase in The Bourne Identity - the franchise isn’t particularly known for its deft storytelling prowess. With the release of Jason Bourne on July 29, Matt Damon returns to the role that made him into a bona fide action star way back in the early aughts.
