The films, in release order
- 1
The Bourne Identity 2002Doug Liman’s *The Bourne Identity* makes a familiar spy chase feel urgent and unexpectedly tender. Matt Damon and Franka Potente give it the human interest that the efficient, occasionally contrived plotting cannot supply.Fi1m 83 - 2
The Bourne Supremacy 2004Paul Greengrass makes a tense spy thriller with an unusually troubled hero, and Matt Damon gives us reason to worry about him. The restless cutting occasionally obscures the action, but the pursuit holds us.Fi1m 81 - 3
The Bourne Ultimatum 2007Paul Greengrass closes the trilogy with a chase film so lean it barely stops to breathe, and neither did we. There is not much plot beneath the running and the camera sometimes loses its footing, but the Waterloo Station sequence alone earns the evening.Fi1m 85 - 4
Jason Bourne 2016Damon and Greengrass return after nine years with two of the best chases in the series and a story that has nowhere left to go. The Athens riot is worth the evening on its own; the rest is capable people going through familiar motions.Fi1m 61
