Exposing his corrupt employers doesn’t seem to have brought Bourne any peace – does it ever in these circumstances? – and he’s still living off the grid, channelling his anger and rage into work as a very efficient bare-knuckle boxer. Following a brief re-cap in which we witness David Webb volunteering for that special ops program, becoming Bourne, losing his memory, and then embarking on a one-man crusade as that memory returns, we are re-introduced to the man himself, and he cuts a forlorn figure. And while the resulting feature doesn’t quite do the latter, it also fails to fully achieve the former, with this belated sequel an entertaining action film that's nevertheless somewhat inferior to its predecessors. In doing so, they run the risk of potentially ruining their own Bourne legacy however. ![]() But now Damon and writer-director Paul Greengrass – who helmed the previous two pictures – are returning to the fray nearly a decade on to re-invigorate the franchise and maybe make a few bucks in the process.
