It's just not as memorable as Bourne's best. The movies are The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), The Bourne Legacy (2012) and Jason Bourne (2016). Still, "Jason Bourne" is a solid action blockbuster put together by experts in the field. There are currently five Jason Bourne movies, one mini-series and one TV show. And there's a subplot about government surveillance, because apparently it's also the law these days that all blockbusters have a subplot about government surveillance (" Spectre", "Furious 7", "Captain America" again).
It's shot in London and Berlin, because apparently it's the law these days that all blockbusters have to film in London and Berlin ("Thor 2", "London has Fallen", "Fast and Furious 6", " The Hunger Games", " Captain America: Civil War" etc). What separates Bourne from other action heroes, though, is his constant search for identity. So "Jason Bourne"'s big chase is directly lifted from "A Good Day to Die Hard" (AKA "The Worst Die Hard"). Not only does it cannibalise its own past, the new film also echoes other action movies that reinvented themselves after the innovative feel of "The Bourne Identity" in 2002. Ultimately it's hard to shake the nagging feeling this latest Bourne movie is a victim of its own success. You would not believe how much of this there is.
