Action cinema was facing an existential crisis at the beginning of the 21st century. While the 1990s had seen the popularity of action classics like The Matrix, Speed, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, come the new millennium, the genre became dominated by overtly silly, ridiculous films that had no semblance of reality. The critical failures of Mission: Impossible II and Die Another Day suggested that not even reliable franchises were guaranteed hits anymore.
5 ‘Jason Bourne’ Directed by Paul Greengrass Although it's certainly not without its merits, Jason Bournefeels like an unnecessary sequel that fails to justify its existence. The original trilogy starring Damon hadn’t necessarily closed the door on potential follow-ups, but it didn’t offer any clear indication as to where the story was headed next. Jason Bourne sees the titular character returning to the fray after learning a secret about his father that ties back to Treadstone.
Release Date July 11, 2016 Cast Matt Damon , Tommy Lee Jones , Alicia Vikander , Vincent Cassel , Julia Stiles , Riz Ahmed Runtime 123 4 ‘The Bourne Legacy’ Directed by Tony Gilroy The Bourne Legacy is by far the most underrated entry in the Bourne franchise. Instead of making a traditional sequel, writer/director Tony Gilroy introduces the new character of Aaron Cross , another brainwashed spy serving in the same program as Bourne.
The Bourne Identity works because of how compelling Bourne’s hero’s journey is. While he would become a more downbeat, serious character in the sequels, Bourne has the same innocence as other Damon characters in films like Good Will Hunting and The Rainmaker. The film is very well-paced and tells an individual story that does not necessitate knowledge of the sequels to be emotionally satisfying.
