Bourne by the Numbers: From THE BOURNE IDENTITY to THE BOURNE LEGACY | Collider Bourne by the Numbers: From THE BOURNE IDENTITY to THE BOURNE LEGACY SHARE TWEET 0 The Bourne franchise is at a crossroads. Does the success of each movie depend on Matt Damon, or can Universal turn Bourne into Bond, an evergreen series that rotates in fresh blood every few movies? To explore that question, I tried to capture how the series has evolved over the last decade with Bourne by the Numbers. The feature provides a numbers-based snapshot of each movie and its place in the filmography by looking at the box office, critical reception, and miscellaneous facts. Hit the jump for a comprehensive review of the Bourne movies, featuring The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and The Bourne Legacy. RT: 83% Worldwide Gross: $214 million 1980 – Year that the Robert Ludlum novel The Bourne Identity was published. Ludlum went on to write The Bourne Supremacy (1986) and The Bourne Ultimatum (1990).

Eric Van Lustbader has continued the series with seven (and counting) additional novels after Ludlum died in 2001. 1988 – Year The Bourne Identity was first adapted into a telefilm. Richard Chamberlain played Jason Bourne in this four-hour version of the story that aired over two nights on ABC. 5 – Years director Doug Liman spent pushing his adaptation through development. It took two years to fully secure the film rights to the book from Warner Bros., another year to work on the script with Tony Gilroy, and two more years of production. 3 – Months Matt Damon spent training in stunt work, weaponry, boxing, and Kali (a martial arts discipline). Liman initially met with more traditional action leads like Sylvester Stallone and Russell Crowe , but chose Damon because the actor understood Liman’s take on the action genre. $8 million – Estimated cost overruns for the shoot that went two weeks longer than planned. The initial budget was $52 million, but the production hit a snag in France.

Damon disliked some of the changes made to the script that he last approved, saying, “It became the exact kind of movie I would pass on, that I don’t want to do and that I avoided doing because there was the perfect number of explosions and everything .” Liman agreed enough to change the schedule on the fly. Gilroy started to fax new scenes from his office in New York to the European production headquarters during filming. Universal sent veteran producer Frank Marshall over to get things under control, and he recalls one sticking point: “I said, ‘Doug, we can’t do the farmhouse scene. We’re in downtown Paris. We don’t have a farmhouse. It’s not in the schedule .’” But Liman insisted because he believed the scene to be crucial in the characterization of Bourne. Marshall eventually called the studio and wrangled a bit more time and money for Liman. Still, Liman has referred to the experience as a “fucking nightmare” and later claimed, “Universal hated me. I had an archenemy in the studio. They were trying to shut me down. The producers were bad guys .” 9 – Months the release date was delayed.

Universal first announced a September 2001 release date before pushing it back to February 2002. A test audience wanted more action at the end of the movie , so Liman and Co. returned to Paris to shoot the climactic shoot-out. This required the studio to push The Bourne Identity back to May before eventually settling on June 14, 2002. In retrospect, it seems miraculous that not only did The Bourne Identity overcome countless production obstacles, it kicked off a billion dollar franchise. Damon noted, “The word on Bourne was that it was supposed to be a turkey. It’s very rare that a movie comes out a year late, has four rounds of reshoots, and it’s good .” Although a solid effort, the Bourne franchise did not reach its peak until Paul Greengrass took the reins for the two sequels. RT: 81% Worldwide Gross: $289 million 12 – Months after the release of The Bourne Identity that Universal announced Damon would return for a sequel . Understandably, Liman did not join him.

Gilroy suggested director Paul Greengrass to the producers—Greengrass earned the job on the strength of his depiction of the shootings in Bloody Sunday. Producer Patrick noted, “His sense of the camera as participatory viewer really suited the continuation of Jason’s story .” $3 million – Gilroy’s fee to return to write Supremacy. Liman made Gilroy miserable working on The Bourne Identity with endless demands for rewrites which Liman constantly reshot. Gilroy suggested Liman “didn’t have any sense of story, or cause and effect.” Gilroy was lured back in to write The Bourne Supremacy with a $3 million paycheck, the promise of a new director, and the pursuit of a story where Bourne repented for his crimes. Greengrass also managed to offend Gilroy by omitting this atonement. Gilroy fumed, “It was sort of like a crime against the gods of storytelling .” 6 – Months of preparation to shoot for two weeks in India. Crowley explains why the location was worth it: “Of the places in the world where you could go and hide, it just seemed to be a place where you could blend in.

We talked about China, we talked about other places, but one of the cool things about Goa was there are a lot of young tourists, which makes it perfect for Jason and Marie— they don’t stick out .” 2 – Times Damon ruined the take while shooting the car crash sequence. Damon claims he “blew the first two takes, because I was having such a blast that I was smiling and yelling the whole time .” 2.4 – Average shot length in seconds. That translates to over 2500 edits over the course of the 108-minute runtime. (For comparison, the similarly quick Bourne Identity kept the average shot length around 4 seconds.) By taking it to the extreme, Greengrass helped establish a precedent for the rapid-fire shaky camera that many action movies have since adopted. 90 – Seconds needed to track Bourne’s position when he calls Pamela Landy (Joan Allen). Bourne disconnects the call in exactly 88 on-screen seconds.

The Bourne Supremacy works great as a proof of concept: the Bourne mythology can carry these spy stories beyond the one movie, marked by killing off a major character in the first act that launches Bourne on a mission of vengeance. Greengrass takes the action to the next level, too. The Knife vs. Magazine fight is a brutal, beautiful piece of filmmaking. RT: 94% Worldwide Gross: $443 million 7 – Countries in which the movie was shot, spanning 3 continents . Locations included Tangier, London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, New York, and other cities in the U.S. The production made use of local crews, so that more than 250 people ended up working behind the camera. 35 – Speed limit in miles per hour on all vehicles used to shoot the climactic car chase in Manhattan. The NYPD set this limit out of concern for public safety. The production spent six week orchestrating and shooting the scene. $69.2 million – Opening weekend box office gross. The Bourne Ultimatum still holds the record for the highest opening weekend in August.

Ultimatum should remain the highest-grossing Bourne movie unless The Bourne Legacy exceeds expectations. 3 – Academy Awards and wins. The Bourne Ultimatum won Oscars for Best Film Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing. 0 – Times Gilroy watched the movie after it was released. Universal brought back Gilroy once more with another big paycheck for The Bourne Ultimatum, which he agreed to on the condition that he did not have to speak with Greengrass. Gilroy wrote a draft, then promptly left the project, and claimed he had not seen the finished product as of 2009. (The Bourne Legacy is deeply intertwined with the plot of The Bourne Ultimatum, so I imagine Gilroy has now seen Ultimatum.) Damon later laid into Gilroy’s pass at the script: “I don’t blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. It’s just that it was unreadable. This is a career-ender.

I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude .” Damon later apologized for the “ kind of douchey ” move of saying such a thing publicly, and Gilroy seemed to be cool with it . The series reached delirious heights here: unanimous acclaim, nearly $500 million, and three Oscars. I can understand why Greengrass and Damon were hesitant to try to follow this. The chase across the roofs of Tangier has become the signature scene of the series—why try to top it? I hope Damon eventually does come back for one more (and maybe even teams up with Renner ), but I won’t hold my breath. RT: 52% Worldwide Gross: TBD 2008 – Year when Universal announced that Damon and Greengrass were on board for a fourth Bourne movie . That came as a surprise since Damon, prior to the release of The Bourne Ultimatum, indicated that he was not interested in a sequel: “ We have ridden that horse as far as we can .” 5 – Number of years Damon, in 2010, said he expected to pass in before he returned to the character.

But he did not believe the franchise would lay dormant: “There’ll probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one, just because I think we’re probably another five years away from doing it. We’ve got to get a script .” Damon’s stance now is that he is absolutely willing to play Jason Bourne again as long as Greengrass returns. In the meantime, Gilroy overcame the bitterness associated with the franchise and signed on to direct The Bourne Legacy , which would center around a new spy. 14 – Names we heard tested for the lead role as the new star of The Bourne Legacy . The list included Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, Taylor Kitsch, Michael Fassbender, and many more. They eventually landed on Jeremy Renner to play Aaron Cross, another government-engineered super agent. 15 – Oscar nominations among the cast. Renner (2), Edward Norton (2), Rachel Weisz (1), Albert Finney (5), David Strathairn (1), Joan Allen (3), and one more from (highlight for possible spoiler) {Chris Cooper}.

4 – People standing by on the set in Canada to prevent hypothermia. Our introduction to Cross sees him submerged in an icy lake. Renner shot the scene where he emerges shirtless from the lake in below freezing temperatures. Renner explained, “Cold is cold. If it’s 39 or 29, it doesn’t matter .” They got it in one take. 3.5 – Stories of “the chasm.” In the trailer you can see Cross sliding down a small gap between buildings to land on a bad guy. That gap was 3 and a half stories high and only two feet wide. The crew used one existing wall from a Manila building and constructed the wall next to it. Rather than aging the wall artificially, they bought old siding from local homes and installed new walls on the houses they stripped. 90 – Cars used in the Manila chase sequence. More than 300 extras were employed—the scene shot on a mile-and-a-half stretch of road through three major intersections over several weekends. Crowley admitted, “Manila’s a tough city to work in: There are traffic jams, and it’s hard to move around .” He continued, “But the people are so gracious and excited about films.

They know more about the Bourne movies than I know about the Bourne movies.” $130 million – Listed production budget . This makes The Bourne Legacy the most expensive Bourne movie yet. 135 – Runtime in minutes. The Bourne Legacy is the longest in the series, 16 minutes longer than The Bourne Identity. I return to my opening question: Does the success of each movie depend on Damon, or can Universal turn Bourne into Bond, an evergreen series that rotates in fresh blood every few movies? I think Gilroy and Renner make a great case for the latter in The Bourne Legacy, establishing a character that carves out his own identity in the Bourne universe while justifying further exploration in a sequel or two. For my money, the MVP of The Bourne Legacy is production designer Kevin Thompson, whom Gilroy has worked with in all his directorial features. The major locations are spectacular, and the geography and personality of the sets are integrated so well into the storytelling. Sure, it’s hard to screw up the scenes set on a snowy mountain or amid the streets of Manila. But my favorite set is the rundown house in the woods.

The action covers every inch—inside and out—of that house, all of it resourcefully choreographed to find the true cinematic purpose of each room. The runner-up is the beyond-tense depiction of a shootout in the science lab. It is terrifying to witness the gunman discreetly seal off every possible exit, and exhilarating to see Marta (Weisz) save herself by ducking into all the right corners of the lab at the right time. The great set pieces do not add up to a greater whole, a chain of action that escalates and builds to the climax. But I am okay with that since most of these scenes, judged on their own merits, engage as they progress the story. The Bourne Legacy works best as a contained thriller, as in the house and the lab. So when we expand to the big chase through Manila, it appeals to the visual senses but only makes a superficial connection—it’s the closest Legacy comes to mindless action. Part of the problem is the last-minute introduction of a new foe for Cross to fight. He is nondescript, and essentially one last video game boss for Cross to defeat.

It feels like he should have been introduced earlier in the story, or removed to involve the Eric Byer (the villainous government puppet master played by Norton) more directly in the final act. Weisz is responsible for the scientific explanation of what’s going on, while Norton gets most of the political exposition. It is mostly technical gibberish that is used to develop the characters (Weisz’s scientist is terrible at dumbing down the explanation, as most real-life virologists would be), but the story is effectively conveyed in other ways. Cross is dependent on Outcome-issued pills, or “chems.” The blue one makes him smart, the green one enhances his physical abilities. There is a ticking clock because the tin that hangs around his neck is nearly empty. (He resorts to licking the dust of the last pill.) In the meantime, Outcome needs to destroy any evidence that it ever existed to avoid a public PR disaster. To do so they issue all Outcome agents yellow triangular pills that cause mortal nosebleeds, and spend the rest of the movie trying to finish the job with Cross and Marta. Honestly, primary colors tell half the story. Another great example of simple visual storytelling: Byer is tracking Cross on radar.

Cross straps a metal plate to his right hip and the signal disappears. How does that work? Later, we see Cross cut out the tracking device from his midsection just above the right hip. The Bourne Legacy is not without its flaws, but when it’s good, it’s really good. Casting Renner as the new star was a smart choice—he delivers such a capable performance as the action lead that his Aaron Cross could grow to the stature of Jason Bourne over time if Legacy does well enough to merit a sequel. I am rooting for this, because I would love to see another version of The Bourne Legacy with a few of the kinks worked out. — If you liked this, check out Pixar by the Numbers and Batman by the Numbers .

Published on Mar 20, 2015 Summary & review The Bourne films are a series of action/thriller spy films based on the character Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), a CIA assassin suffering from extreme memory loss who must figure out who he is,[5] created by author Robert Ludlum. The Bourne Legacy introduces a new character, Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), a Department of Defense operative who runs for his life because of Bourne's actions in Ultimatum. All three of Ludlum's novels were adapted for the screen, featuring Matt Damon as the titular character in each.

Doug Liman directed The Bourne Identity (2002), and Paul Greengrass directed The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). Tony Gilroy co-wrote each film and directed The Bourne Legacy (2012). Damon chose not to return for the fourth film. The character of Jason Bourne does not appear in Legacy, but mention of his name and pictures of Damon as Bourne are shown throughout the film.[6] The series is noted for its realism, in contrast to the growing use of computer-generated imagery in the action genre.[7] Category Amph - The Bourne Series (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum, Legacy, & Jason Bourne) | Page 12 | Jedi Council Forums Jedi Council Forums Discussion in ' Community ' started by JediTrilobite , May 23, 2004 . Page 12 of 13 Member Since: Sep 13, 2007 Cross-posting from the "last movie" thread. Guess I'll go against the grain in this thread a bit. My wife and I both really liked it.

A small disclaimer or note; you really should have seen the first three Bournes (Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum; Legacy is totally optional) to enjoy this, and moreover you should have liked all of those installments in order to fully appreciate this movie. I don't think someone who didn't really like the earlier movies, or who liked Identity but then checked out, will be won over by this. But if you did enjoy all of those, this movie really delivers. A great plot that doesn't try to be more than it is, but which does deliver some new revelations and points that we didn't previously know about, and of course some great action. The effects are almost all practical and very well done. The acting is also well done; everyone does exactly what their character calls for, and no more... this is especially true for Matt Damon, who is very good in this despite his relatively low dialogue line count and limited range of emotions. Bourne is even more of a battered shell of a man now than he was before, but doing what's right and getting revenge for the past do still matter to him.

Member Since: Sep 13, 2007 I didn't think it was excellent, or even as good as the first three. But either way, that's still your opinion. And I think this part of what I wrote probably applies to you: "I don't think someone who didn't really like the earlier movies, or who liked Identity but then checked out, will be won over by this. But if you did enjoy all of those, this movie really delivers." more liek "The Bourne Lol Gacy" jeremy renner has a weird meat face Last edited by Rogue_Ten, Aug 2, 2016 Member Since: Aug 18, 2002 actually i kind of flubbed that one but "dahmer" doesn't rhyme with "legacy" so what can i do? I just saw this. It was utterly, laughably, pretentiously, pompously crap. The best/worst part is knowing Damon and Greenarse probably spent a good 16 hours slapping each other's backs at how modern and relevant and accurate the film was.

You could seriously spent the money you would otherwise spend on a ticket giving a homeless person a meal, or paying a coworker to beat you up, and both are infinitely better options. Welp, I guess I won't be watching this then...not until Redbox at least. Used to be that I'd see a trailer and get the feeling that the movie would be bad...but then I'd be bored and curious enough to go watch it in theaters anyway. Now I see a trailer and get the feeling that the movie will be bad, and I just decide that these guys don't deserve my money. Last edited by Alpha-Red, Aug 3, 2016 Member Since: Jun 12, 2014 Given that it had two actors from the last two Ocean's movies (Damon and Cassel) and part of it takes place in Vegas, I fully expect Andy Garcia to be the main villain for the next movie, and Bourne to be aided by Clooney and Pitt. The2ndQuest Tri-Mod With a Mouth Manager Frank Marshall says any likely sequels will be a Damon/Gressgrass picture, and we're unlikely to see a Legacy sequel or crossover: “I have spoken to them both.

Obviously they’re very pleased with how the movie turned out. It’s really about the story, just like on this one, everyone said ‘if you come to us with a good story, we’ll think about it.’ So right now, we’re taking a pause and then we’re going to dive back in and try to find a story. We did leave it wide open at the end of the movie to continue on in Bourne’s world so we’ll see what we can come up with.” (re: Legacy) “Probably not. I don’t know. That story is still out there as well but it’s not… we’re not talking about it.” (re: crossover) “No, not really. I think they are separate characters, and I don’t think we’re ever going to see them together.” Member Since: Mar 26, 2001 Oh God. Just stop these movies already. They started off over the top but at least it was goofy fun. Now it's just over the top dull. Member Since: Sep 13, 2007 Well, I'm glad to see that they're still not considering a Legacy sequel or crossover.

But yeah, they should probably just be done in general at this point. I loved the first three, and while the most recent one (Jason Bourne) was entertaining enough, it wasn't really good enough to justify keeping the franchise going. That quote above ("we’re going to dive back in and try to find a story. We did leave it wide open at the end of the movie to continue on in Bourne’s world so we’ll see what we can come up with") is kind of funny in that it reveals that they would probably be forcing something story-wise at this point. Member Since: Mar 26, 2001 That quote just reeks of "we have to dive in and find a story to force another unneeded sequel out". If you don't have a story, why think you must make another film? I could see if they said they had another story but, really, I think they've told all they can. This franchise was done at three. Legacy was a waste and this last one was just ugly in just abut every way.And I say that as a fan of Greengrass' Supremacy.

Last edited by ShaneP, Nov 30, 2016 Violent Violet Menace Jedi Grand Master Member Since: Aug 11, 2004 The story didn't really need anything beyond the first movie. They did it anyway because money talks, and I could buy the sequels because they probably wouldn't have allowed him to disappear if the story was real either, so I was on board. But they closed it nicely with the third, and I was happy with the story ending there. Then he comes back out of hiding himself, which is just "why?", but the movie tells me it's personal, so... fine, I guess...? But story-wise it's like an addendum to the main arc, really it's incidental to it and ultimately unsatisfying because it didn't need to be there. It's like when Mr. Bean sings hallelujah in church, and he hits the note too fast, so he keeps going "jah...jah...jah...jaaaaah". This is an extra "jah". It's an addendum, and it's out of place. But I thought it was fine, in isolation, honestly.

If they do any more of them, he's going to be keeping running, which is derivative, or he's going to come in and become an asset, which goes against the whole grain of the story and the character, so I really hope they just end it here...... But of course they won't. Member Since: Jan 23, 2003 I rewatched Legacy again just recently and liked it much more than I remember. In hindsight with Jason Bourne's release, I can see that it was at least trying to do something new and had a plot that expanded the Bourne world. You had Edward Norton scorching the programs and doing damage control, and it continued the story told in the previous films with the same characters. With Jason Bourne, I've really little idea about where it stands in the continuity (the subplots from the trilogy and Legacy are all dropped and there's no-one at the CIA from the previous films, Tommy Lee Jones and Alicia Vikander are all new). That it retroactively adds in the angle about Webb's father doesn't quite work. Bourne's story really did seem to be told already and so it comes across as more unnecessary sequel than the others.

Anyway, I'm personally far more interested in hearing about what Aaron Cross does next than Jason Bourne; though admittedly his story is also complete (ie, abandoned he needs to find his meds to survive and in the end he is viralled off them). The two agents pairing up or going against each other would have been interesting. Member Since: Sep 13, 2007 I'd really only want to see them pair up if it's so they can work together to hunt down the producers and script writers who won't let them live in peace. Member Since: Sep 29, 2005 "We're going to flounder hopelessly around straining to find a story" has been the case ever since they tried to make a sequel to Identity. Why change their MO now? Member Since: Mar 26, 2001 At least the trilogy was loosely based on Ludlam's novels. Now it is fitting the moves are flailing around just as Ludlam's Estate keeps pumping out Bourne novels by other writers seemingly for a cash in. Aren't there maybe a dozen Bourne novels now?

Member Since: Dec 10, 2003 Everything since the Ronin-esque car chase at the end of Supremacy has been a bit of a chore to watch. I agree. Now Ronin was awesome. A car chase driving in reverse. Last edited by ShaneP, Dec 1, 2016 Member Since: Sep 13, 2007 Ronin is still the best car chase movie ever, IMO. It's actually better than it gets credit for in other aspects too, but that's getting off-track. ShaneP said: ↑ At least the trilogy was loosely based on Ludlam's novels. Now it is fitting the moves are flailing around just as Ludlam's Estate keeps pumping out Bourne novels by other writers seemingly for a cash in. Aren't there maybe a dozen Bourne novels now? Exactly. Even though the movies steered pretty far away from the novels, at least the novels existed and had the same names, establishing the true Bourne story as a trilogy.

I thought Supremacy and Ultimatum were both great movies, like Identity, and I also thought Ultimatum was a great conclusion to the trilogy (just as the novel was a great ending to its trilogy, albeit a very different story than the movie). It was ironic that Legacy took its name from one of the not-really-Bourne novels that were written by someone else after Ludlum died, since the movie felt like such a tack-on to the existing universe (even though the story was not the same as the novel in that case either). And then with the Jason Bourne movie, now free from the novel naming conventions, they apparently employed the "we'll dig a story out of this somehow" approach that they're hinting a return to in that article.

Movie Review: ‘The Bourne Legacy’ - The New York Times The New York Times Movies |Bourne, Under New Management Search Movie Review: ‘The Bourne Legacy’ The Bourne Legacy Photo Jeremy Renner in "The Bourne Legacy." Credit Mary Cybulski/Universal Pictures Just before “The Bourne Legacy” gets its game on, the franchise’s new face, played by Jeremy Renner , comes out of the Alaskan wilderness to take refuge in a cabin. There he meets another of his kind, a superspy with a scowl and enough artillery to invade a small country. By the time they’ve grudgingly warmed up to each other an unmanned drone is blasting everything to bits. It’s an effectively blunt opener for a series that from its start has tracked a different military drone, this one a man fighting to recover first his identity and then his humanity. That you may not remember the name of Mr. Renner’s agent, Aaron Cross, after all the dust finally settles, suggests that the fight goes on.

Less a thrilling franchise reboot than a solid salvage mission, “The Bourne Legacy” is the fourth installment in a series that until now starred Matt Damon as the eponymous spy who, with his near-uncanny wiles, smarts and strength, ran circles around American intelligence agencies and box office rivals both. Superior industrial entertainments, the three previous titles — the first was directed by Doug Liman, the second and third by Paul Greengrass — injected new energy and savvy into American action cinema, which like many of its aging stars had been suffering from blockbuster bloat. The Bourne movies put identifiable human stakes into the action equation, along with a sense of palpable moral outrage, politics and, under Mr. Greengrass’s kinetic watch, increased torque. Photo Rachel Weisz and Mr. Renner in "The Bourne Legacy." Credit Mary Cybulski/Universal Pictures Here, then, was an American hero who didn’t wreak random destruction, who didn’t simply light the fuse with a wisecrack and walk away but dug deep into the mystery of why there was a chip in his body and blood on his hands. (Plus: supercool stunts .) Both Mr. Greengrass and Mr.

Damon were slated to make another “Bourne,” but when that project fell apart Tony Gilroy, a writer on all three earlier movies, was tapped to take the lead on the franchise. Mr. Gilroy has only two other directing credits, including “Michael Clayton,” a low-key, low-action thriller in which the biggest bangs were from an exploding car and Tilda Swinton ’s savage performance as a lawyer. Mr. Gilroy’s script for “The Bourne Legacy,” written with his brother Dan, has given him much more to wrangle — locations, characters, hardware, franchise expectations — than he’s had to deal with in the past. If that worried him, it doesn’t show in the movie’s hyperventilated opening stretch, which zips from Cross battling wolves, doubts and military drones in Alaska; to Scott Glenn and Stacy Keach as a couple of military men who go alpha male to alpha male about a covert operation and its consequences in a darkened room in the D.C.

power corridor; to Edward Norton , as Colonel Byer, barking someplace else at flunkies who, not being your average hired help, can pull up high-definition surveillance images from across the globe with a few phone calls and strokes on a keyboard.

Credit Mary Cybulski/Universal Pictures In between the edited cacophony and grimaces a story emerges involving yet another secret intelligence campaign, this one called Outcome, which has produced enhanced operatives — like Cross — as ingenious and lethally skilled as Bourne. Gradually and somewhat murkily Mr. Gilroy lays out how Cross ended up wrestling with wolves in Alaska only to play a more savage game of cat and mouse with Colonel Byer. The sympathetic Mr. Renner handles the action scenes persuasively, but Mr. Gilroy never turns the fight sequences, as both Mr. Liman and Mr. Greengrass did, into occasions for a surprisingly resonant sense of regret and even sorrow. Cross has his own qualms, as flashbacks reveal, but none of Jason Bourne’s deeply felt agonies or his strong sense of purpose. Advertisement Continue reading the main story As Mr.

Gilroy whips from location to location, jumping into scenes without much explanation beyond a nod to the location, it can feel, especially early on, as if he’s trying too hard to match the accelerated tempo of Mr. Greengrass’s movies. However frenetically paced, each of the three Bourne movies sprang more or less coherently from the one before it. And because Mr. Greengrass was building on the same story with the same hero and other familiar faces, his feverish crosscutting and globe-trotting never got in the way of narrative coherence. By contrast, while Mr. Gilroy retains some of the Bourne bequest, he’s also created a tricky parallel universe with a new agency that has its own clenched-jawed, closed-door complications and a hero who nearly becomes lost among them.

Gilroy cleverly handles some of the overlap between the new Bourne reality and the old by, for instance, folding characters from the earlier movies into this one. He even stitches a bit that looks as if it’s from “The Bourne Ultimatum,” with a shot of Colonel Byer on the phone, a juxtaposition that suggests that he’s been casting shadows over Bourne World for a while. Yet Mr. Gilroy, perhaps impatient to establish his own Bourne legacy, doesn’t work off the franchise’s foundation for long, instead veering off to juggle his many new faces and places. By the time Rachel Weisz , as a scientist called Dr. Marta Shearing, showed up in a lab coat, I stopped trying to parse every plot twist and just went with the action flow. Some of that action flows nicely, as in a tense, unnerving shootout in a house, even if Mr. Gilroy can be disappointingly cavalier when it comes to racking up bodies. Little feels at stake here, other than his future as a Bourne director. One of the pleasures of this series is how well its ever more kinetic visual style has served its stories.

With its frenzied fragmentation of time and space, the filmmaking has conveyed a sense of urgency that mirrored Bourne’s shattered being and his propulsive, convulsive journey from unenlightened self-interest to accountability, from the existential question mark of his identity to a hard moral reckoning. Through all three movies Jason Bourne was still trying to find the answers. Now with Bourne gone, Mr. Gilroy needs to find other questions worth asking.
