Operation Blackbriar

Rating: 7/10 (6 October 2016)

This movie essentially begins where the previous film "The Bourne Supremacy" left off with Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) leaving Moscow and traveling back to Europe having given a the Deputy Director of the C.I.A. named "Pamela Landy" (Joan Allen) a taped confession from another senior C.I.A. official of heading a secret-but highly illegal-operation code-named "Treadstone". Having provided Pamela with this information he also warns her to call off any further attempts on his life. What he doesn't realize is that "Operation Treadstone" has evolved into something much more sinister code-named "Operation Blackbriar" and that neither the Director of the C.I.A. "Ezra Kramer" (Scott Glenn) nor the official in charge of "Operation Blackbriar" named "Noah Vosen" (David Strathaim) have any intention of allowing him to live and possibly jeopardizing this deadly new program. So once again Jason Bourne has no choice but to carry the fight to those responsible. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie had the same high-octane action as its predecessor but also seemed to flow more smoothly from one scene to another which made for a slightly better overall picture. That being the case I have rated this movie accordingly. Above average.
