The "she's standing right next to you" is one of the best lines in action movies. This guy is not using irony, no twisted words, no empty threats, nothing. Was crystal clear that if Bourne wanted her dead, she'll be dead by now. Great acting by all of them.
That’s why I believe Bourne films are the best in “secret agent” genre. He is not messing around: no falling in love with every woman he meets (like Bond), not making any jokes with your enemies. He is dedicated and can’t be stopped. He can be everywhere and nowhere at the same time - he could be literally watching you leave your hotel room or through the scope of his rifle. You can’t find him - he will always be somewhere much ahead of you. I could watch these films without any actions scenes even - just where he does his investigations/escapes are interesting enough
perfectly perfectly written. I could watch these kind of films over and over without actions. It's considered one of if not best secret agent films of all time. No stupid messing around. No falling in love with woman like (bond). No comedic joking around with your enimies. I can go on and on
Well stated! One correction if you do not mind. Bond just had sex with every women, he never fell in love. He was a playboy, that was it. I really appreciated how the relationship between Bourne and Marie evolved in the first film.
I read the Robert Ludlum books twice, the first time in the late 80s and early 90s, when I was in high school / university and again in the early 2000s once the movies came out. Matt Damon is the best actor for this role.. It's sad that age brings an end to all things great.
I loved that scene and line. Effective. But maybe a little forced. 30 minutes for a name pulled out of a hat? Landy wouldn't have messed around with a what if question.
Jason Bourne is a very good example of how good action movies used to be made , simple action and brain power splashed on a film , bad ass dialogue and some simplistic but realistic and relatable intense scenes , it was amazing and I am proud to even experience and enjoy these old movies again and again , when it comes to movies I do love living in the past .
In many aspects, I agree. But the movies also started this horrible trend with all the extremely short cuts, extreme close-ups and shaky cams so you can't actually follow what's going on. Whatever is supposed to be accomplished _for the viewer_ can be done better with some other method, without unnecessary confusion (even intended confusion can be done better). Which implies that the _actual_ intent is something like hiding stuff the actor(s) couldn't do (fight scenes are all too commonly done this way now, instead of with wide-angle and long cuts so you can actually see the movements (and mistakes) of the fighters), or the crew lacked the abilities/funds/... to use other methods.
It doesn't show it well enough here. But yes, they all shit their pants at the same time and Nikki herself was like "well I'm fucking dead. Thanks a lot you pieces of shit."
He knows how to get their attention. If he knows that, he's got eyes on them, but they do NOT have eyes on him. He is one step ahead of them and now they know that. Implicit message: don't BS me. They try. And, again, he manages to get ahold of Nicki without them seeing him. Again, he's one step ahead of them. That's why I love this move. These folks are NOT the Keystone Kops. They're competent folks, very good at what they do. But he's outsmarting them every step of the way.
My fav scene and the epitome of bourne's intelligence is when he cold calls different hotels to find where landey is staying and when he finds out the hotel he doesn't just go up to counter and ask for room number but does some amazing spy work to find out her room number from where he follows her to her office and then calls her to arrange a meet just to get some more answers. The writing is just phenomenal.
The phone trick in Supremacy was genius. I loveed that sequence. Supremacy was my fave for the intelligence. Identidy for the story and the raw action, and Ultimatum for all 3.
player one is that because any moment might be your last and you don't want to leave your errands unfinished or because you think you are secretly part of a CIA brainwashing assassin program and any moment you might wake up and be called upon to assassinate a president or high ranking military leader or CEO of a fortune 500 company and you don't want to leave your errands unfinished?

In 2002’s “The Bourne Identity,” our protagonist wakes up having been shot and plucked, unconscious, from the Mediterranean on to a fishing boat with no memory of who he is or how he got there. From there, the movie franchise follows Jason Bourne as he recovers memories of past events and rediscovers his identity. But, although Bourne’s amnesia at the start of the first film in the series is profound (and profoundly important to the unfolding story), we quickly learn that there are some things Bourne does remember from his past. For example, how to speak multiple languages, how to drive and how to fight. All of these are complex motor tasks that he learned before he was shot and fell in to the water. This aspect of Bourne’s amnesia is actually quite accurate. For people with “organic” amnesia (where neurological memory loss is typically due to damage to the medial temporal lobes in the brain), memory for skills and habits is intact, even though other memories are lost. There is truth to the cliché that you never forget how to ride a bicycle.
Yeah I remember doing research for a paper and there was a medical journal I read. The guy had brain damage and had lost the ability to form short term memories. But he was able to continue to be a carpenter because of his muscle memory and such. The brain is beyond fascinating.
The thing about Jason Bourne as compared to James Bond is that Bourne is quiet. No loud explosions, no weird gadgets. Bond is good with explosions, gadgets, and gunfire and I like Bond for those, but Bourne is more like a shadow that can walk alongside you and you'll never know. Besides, I'm a little biased towards Jason Bourne because his fictional surname is my family name 😁
Jason is a weapon where bond is dependent on his gadgets to get him out of a tight spot, both characters are free thinkers meaning if situation occurs seems that they make quick and right decisions, but Bourne can play bond but bond would be unmatched to play Bourne in hand to hand conflicts. They both have superiors- bond uses women to get information where Jason is trying to find himself and his women are more companions.
Jason Bourne isnt a spy. He's an assassin. They can be spies but their objectives are mainly to infiltrate to kill targets. A spy's objectives are more to infiltrate or go undercover for information or to prevent a war or some crisis. Sometimes they aren't necessarily trained or even physically fit to be assassins. James Bond is kind of a bad depiction of both as his movies are more about entertaining cinematics than anything really realistic.

Most Hollywood directors are dumbass high school dropouts who sucked enough studio cock to move up the ranks, regardless of talent or worldly knowledge (or lack thereof), as such, Hollywood-produced movies are usually full of absolute shit like that..
I'm watching this for the 100th time and Director Greengrass' fast cut aways and edgy script + stellar performances by the cast still gets the pulse rate up !
Not only did he prove she could’ve been his target but also, who she was and what she looked like. This after her saying they should be a step ahead of him. This line and the one when he’s in Noah’s (Wilson) office about having the conversation face to face, prove a point about who’s really in charge.
@@JeremyMacDonald1973: Personally, my favorite line is: "If you were in your office right now, we'd be having this conversation face to face." Does it get more Boss Mode than that? I don't think so!
@@skullcandy005 at least he is showing concern for your health at that point. she's standing right next to you at that point you're not sure and he may be nuts or not want you around anymore.
This still sends chills down my spine. I was a kid when I first saw this movie (and read the books). I knew instantly that Jason Bourne was who I wanted James Bond to be.
Yeah, that rattled a few cages, right there. Not just that he's giving the orders himself, but specifically that Nicky calls that the 'Scary version'. At that moment, Landy and several others were about ready to shit themselves.
Yep, my great grand father witnessed the call from Jason Bourne. He was working in the same building back then. He said Jason Bourne was never caught in his lifetime.
I've loved espionage movies all my life and can now safely say Bourne is the one I've been waiting for. From, Man from uncle, Mission Impossible to James Bond and everything in-between, in my mind they were just the warm up acts before the main event, Bourne.
You should read the espionage novels by John Le Carre. He was a real MI6 agent during the cold War and then began writing spy thrillers. Some of them were even made into movies like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
@@TheJeffRay21 Le Carre's material is paced more like dramas than thrillers, but it oozes with tension, political intrigue, and constant backstabbing nonetheless.
5 of them in total but de 4th was with jeremy renner. the 5th installment was back with matt damon who nailed Jason Bourne. like i heard a lot before, matt damon is the only Jason Bourne
Did you watch "3 Days of the Condor" with Robert Redford, Cliff Robertson? Based on Ken Follett's book. Redford was very bright; not a trained operative but clever... he runs the CIA all over the place. Not as cool as Bourne.... but fun
@@francisdavis1271 thanks for the movie tip I appreciate that I do like Robert Redford I would definitely be trying to watch that tonight thank you again
Which is why I keep coming back to him and the superb scenes. None of the recent movies in two decades have matched up to this classic series. Robert Ludlum has exceeded himself... There are quite a few books to extend his character if he wants...
How many of you recall Ken Follett's "Six Days of the Condor" which was made into "Three Days of the Condor" with Redford, Cliff Robertson, Faye Dunaway? Redford's character wasn't a field officer... but he was incredibly bright. Field craft keeps your brain from making mistakes... your conditioned not to do the same thing. Redford survived because the Company didn't assume he was capable. Jason Bourne was however a finally tuned field operative.. without a control. They should've been terrified
Yes, he was an analyst with a group of others who read books and write up their opinions on the scenarios. One he wrote up was one the CIA was working on and sent a hit man to take out the entire group but Redford had gone out to get them lunch. At the end was great between him and Robertson, personally I'd have taken Max von Snydow's offer. No CGI just good action, acting and suspense, difficult choice to choose which was better, Condor or Bourne.
Wow I don't understand the negative comments bourne is probly the best assassin movie of this Era. All 5 movies are worth watching good writing good story good acting very good assassin good story writing about david web,,,Jason bournre becoming an agent ,, realistic action!
Read the original books. (Not the movie adapted ones) They are the best, and far different and better than the movie. I would agree only the first 3 are great. Legacy was rubbish, unlike the book.
Yous guys all realize that this is a remake, right? If you don't like it, find the original one with Richard Chamberlain and see which one you like better.
@@shelbynamels973 yes I watched bits and pieces of the original if you like that version go for it ,this version seems to have better and more action. I like this version .!
Fun Fact: during the scene @6:00 the word "tram" was said more times by more people in the shortest amount of time than ever in the history of this entire planet of earth. The writers were awarded the "best writing in a dramatic movie" award by the sweet little vietnamese lady at the video store, Amy Tram.
You harm someone they love and treasure above all else, say your prayers, make your peace to whatever god or gods you worship because your dead, you just don't know it yet, you are a dead man walking!
there's a great line from Nikki when their all trying to work out who's giving Bourne his 'assignments'. Nikki, " scary version. He is... ". Fantastic writing & acting.
this triology background score has something different energy which makes me feel the pain, or feel like loosing something, i cant understand its many years and i believe this score will stays with me for the whole life
I know it's not Bourne and it's not intelligence but Nicky's "It's not a mistake. They don't make mistakes" part also gives Pamela a very clear indication Jason is not just some lucky asset.
3:48 I always laugh at this line "Wanna go home? Find Jason Bourne." Just because 1) All the workers are probably like man this is gonna be a long day of work 😂😂🤣🤣. 2) As soon as she says that, Jason has already found them ahaha. Brilliant!
I read the Bourne trilogy sometime around the late 80s... Ludlum was a genius writer and kept you on the edge of your seat from cover to cover.. even back then I knew that one day those books would be made into movies. In my mind, the best action/suspense trilogy ever made and very true to the original story as written by Ludlum.
I agree, you get way more details, reading a book, rather than a movie. Movies get heavily edited, in the end. That sometimes, leave out crucial details out.
I'm a bit confused as to how you think this is true to the books. Bourne is different, the main antagonist is not Treadstone, just one guy and that's only for one book. The main antagonist of the books doesn't even exist in the movies. Bourne isn't a stable person with amnesia as portrayed in the movies. He is David Webb and he's nearly schizophrenic from the trauma of what he went through and has borderline personality disorder. He has literal arguments in his own head with "Jason Bourne" who whispers into his mind to let him take over. In two when Marie dies was the last straw. In the books if Marie dies "Jason Bourne" takes over and kills EVERYONE. We see this. He's so far gone that he doesn't even recognize Marie when Marie is standing right in front of him begging him to stop.
@@TPund - You've clearly read them more recently than I... It was the late 80s and I've probably read around a thousand books since then... I guess I need to keep in mind that social media is full of pedants and not rely so much on a fading memory when making a cursory remark. Thanks for the reminder that time takes a slow toll.
No doubt,the bourne series outsmarts many of the Bond movies .Bourne is portrayed as a no nonsense guy,he got unbelievable skills. Having said all that,it is really baffling to see that the supposedly best secret service in the world would choose such an office where anybody could see them through lens doing what they want to hide from the world. That kinda office might suit some interior designing/IT company ,most certainly not a secret service agency.
True, they could have covered their tracks better and they should have known better. But then again, Bourne is an agent that the CIA underestimates because of their hubris. And like the commenter right before me, that was the exact point. The best cover is the one you'd least expect. If it seems best suited as a IT/interior designing company, then that serves the mission best.
It isn't their main building. It's some random building that their using for now in another country. And hiding in plain site is good enough cause no one knows what that building is.

There is truth to the cliché that you never forget how to ride a bicycle.
reminds me of Total Recall... stuff Arnie's character knew and did not know. "I killed them." he had skills but not context
This coincides with Alzheimer' Disease where skills and motor function are often retained longer than memory

I'm surprised the civilians didn't see them and get scared lol
Most Hollywood directors are dumbass high school dropouts who sucked enough studio cock to move up the ranks, regardless of talent or worldly knowledge (or lack thereof), as such, Hollywood-produced movies are usually full of absolute shit like that..
maybe it was intentional
@@Funkteon jeez
So brilliantly written. Bourne is always one step ahead.
I'm watching this for the 100th time and Director Greengrass' fast cut aways and edgy script + stellar performances by the cast still gets the pulse rate up !
Never get tired to see once and again this movie saga, it’s a masterpiece on the intel world 🌎
Get some rest Pab. You look tired.
I'd recommend the first couple books by Ludlum, aswesome read
@@negator14 please do recommend. I am a fan of Ludlum's fictional works.
Indeed!
never tired of watching the scenes again and again...o my God such a masterclass
Just an incredible interpretation of the novels. Director Doug Liman understood the assignment and delivered.
Not only did he prove she could’ve been his target but also, who she was and what she looked like. This after her saying they should be a step ahead of him.
This line and the one when he’s in Noah’s (Wilson) office about having the conversation face to face, prove a point about who’s really in charge.
“She’s standing right next to you”
That would freak you out
There's always one person that just repeats the dialog of the movie
@chris furlanic isn't that a testament of a good movie?
Well I thought it was probably the best scene and best line in the entire series. Utterly brilliant.
@@JeremyMacDonald1973: Personally, my favorite line is: "If you were in your office right now, we'd be having this conversation face to face." Does it get more Boss Mode than that? I don't think so!
"she is behind you"
*jumpscares*
Bourne: "She's standing right next to you..."
Landy: Pees a little
"Phrasing!"
Get some rest Pam, you look tired
Brian Cox passes wind and leaves a stain in his jockeys....
@@skullcandy005 at least he is showing concern for your health at that point. she's standing right next to you at that point you're not sure and he may be nuts or not want you around anymore.
*Ludacris waterfalls plays intensively*
This still sends chills down my spine. I was a kid when I first saw this movie (and read the books). I knew instantly that Jason Bourne was who I wanted James Bond to be.
V good summary
"Who's giving the orders now?". "Scary version? He is."
Yeah, that rattled a few cages, right there. Not just that he's giving the orders himself, but specifically that Nicky calls that the 'Scary version'.
At that moment, Landy and several others were about ready to shit themselves.
You know they all shit themselves when he said "she's standing right next to you"
Yep, my great grand father witnessed the call from Jason Bourne. He was working in the same building back then. He said Jason Bourne was never caught in his lifetime.
Yeah, that's not what you want to hear from someone who's apparently (Scary version) giving himself the orders now.
Glad SOMEONE is posting the reasons these movies were different from the typical action pap :)
Ni
highly unusual don't you think? delta tram extraction unsuccessful
No kidding, this is some fine writing
@@whispersilk the movie is based on a book written by a real writer, not someone from hollywood.
most thrilling spy movie of my entire life! absolutely better than any bond or other agent movies
I've loved espionage movies all my life and can now safely say Bourne is the one I've been waiting for. From, Man from uncle, Mission Impossible to James Bond and everything in-between, in my mind they were just the warm up acts before the main event, Bourne.
You should read the espionage novels by John Le Carre. He was a real MI6 agent during the cold War and then began writing spy thrillers. Some of them were even made into movies like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
A little late here but if you read this, you might like the series "The spy" starring Sacha Baron Cohen. Not the typical action styled spy story =)
If you are a fan, you owe it to yourself to see Alec Guiness as George Smiley in Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy and especially Smiley's People.
@@TheJeffRay21
Le Carre's material is paced more like dramas than thrillers, but it oozes with tension, political intrigue, and constant backstabbing nonetheless.
Christ I'd forgotten how good that was.
@madwilliamflint - re: "Christ I'd forgotten...." Do you often write to Jesus Christ on RUclips comments?? Ever get a response?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 At least the one.
Bourne Ultimatum: "Jesus Christ.."
Cinemasins: "Close enough."
For me Jason Bourne changes everything in action movies. Everything.
When you thought you were the one doing the hunting,
'She's standing right next to you.'
And then you realize that you are the prey.
Some of the best movies I have ever seen was the Bourne 'Trilogy'
He is always 3 or 4 steps ahead of everyone else
Yup
More like 3 or 4 laps.
5 of them in total but de 4th was with jeremy renner. the 5th installment was back with matt damon who nailed Jason Bourne. like i heard a lot before, matt damon is the only Jason Bourne
"She's standing right next to you"
*surprised Pikachu face*
The chill that went down her spine when he said ( she is standing right next to you). She knew at that moment she was in trouble!
The Bourne movies are my favorite movies that I've ever seen him in probably watched each one of them over a hundred times
Me too
Yep, me too!
Did you watch "3 Days of the Condor" with Robert Redford, Cliff Robertson? Based on Ken Follett's book. Redford was very bright; not a trained operative but clever... he runs the CIA all over the place. Not as cool as Bourne.... but fun
@@francisdavis1271 thanks for the movie tip I appreciate that I do like Robert Redford I would definitely be trying to watch that tonight thank you again
I would suggest the movie... "Good Will Hunting"......his performance is spectacular !!
gawd damn, you got Jason Bourne after you, you better just give him whatever he wants
The acting, scripting, directing and pacing of these films are just brilliant. Among the best ever in action cinema.
Which is why I keep coming back to him and the superb scenes. None of the recent movies in two decades have matched up to this classic series. Robert Ludlum has exceeded himself... There are quite a few books to extend his character if he wants...
"You wanna go home? Find Jason Bourne!" Serious bars by lil Landy
U wanna go home or stay overtime?
The first three Bourne movies with Matt Damon are three of my favourite movies. Real class.
The 3 first bournes were my favorite movies of all time. I doubt we will ever see such gems ever again in this genre.
the moment Bourne brings horror to the entire room, just brilliant!
The look on Pamela's face says:
"He can take us out anytime he wants."
@4:45 when the good guy scares people like a horror movie villian.
I just love this super star he's SO unique in what he does. A TRUE ONE of a Kind.
A fabulous series given it was made 20 years ago and Matt Daimon is the Meistro - Superb
She is standing right next to you! OWNED Pamela. Love the movie.
How many of you recall Ken Follett's "Six Days of the Condor" which was made into "Three Days of the Condor" with Redford, Cliff Robertson, Faye Dunaway? Redford's character wasn't a field officer... but he was incredibly bright. Field craft keeps your brain from making mistakes... your conditioned not to do the same thing. Redford survived because the Company didn't assume he was capable. Jason Bourne was however a finally tuned field operative.. without a control. They should've been terrified
that is a very good movie
"three days of the condor" I remember it well ... one of my most favorite films ... a classic.
A favorite
Yes, he was an analyst with a group of others who read books and write up their opinions on the scenarios. One he wrote up was one the CIA was working on and sent a hit man to take out the entire group but Redford had gone out to get them lunch. At the end was great between him and Robertson, personally I'd have taken Max von Snydow's offer. No CGI just good action, acting and suspense, difficult choice to choose which was better, Condor or Bourne.
And that's how one finds out about the movie in 2022. Thank you! RUclips commments, gotta love them!
Seen these movies about 30 times and they still get my mind and heart racing.
These were the best movies series. the pace the acting , the cinematography , the casting
and WRITING
incredible
Wow I don't understand the negative comments bourne is probly the best assassin movie of this Era. All 5 movies are worth watching good writing good story good acting very good assassin good story writing about david web,,,Jason bournre becoming an agent ,, realistic action!
Read the original books. (Not the movie adapted ones) They are the best, and far different and better than the movie. I would agree only the first 3 are great. Legacy was rubbish, unlike the book.
@@smythie27 I read the first bourne identity from Robert lundlum .one chapter talked about his ability the rest of the book was plain boring.
Well the shaky cam and the bad fight choreography really bring down what is otherwise an interesting spy thriller.
Yous guys all realize that this is a remake, right? If you don't like it, find the original one with Richard Chamberlain and see which one you like better.
@@shelbynamels973 yes I watched bits and pieces of the original if you like that version go for it ,this version seems to have better and more action. I like this version .!
The cinematography in 1 and 2 is just amazing. They could never replicate that
The film editing, pace, color palette and soundtrack of this trilogy is still unmatched to this day.
“she’s standing right next to you”, is an absolute brilliant line!
These films are masterclass it has everything a spy would be no loose ends Matt Damon really to his career to the next level with these
Best intelligence film I ever watch... 👍👍👍
I am going to pull out my dvd player, and watch all these again. Thanks for posting.
Shouldn't have cut the "It's easy" part before he said that she is standing right next to you. Masterclass!
Fun Fact: during the scene @6:00 the word "tram" was said more times by more people in the shortest amount of time than ever in the history of this entire planet of earth. The writers were awarded the "best writing in a dramatic movie" award by the sweet little vietnamese lady at the video store, Amy Tram.
I know this is late, but I noticed that too. I wish I hadn't because it's funny, and you just can't unhear it. Give my regards to Amy, lol.
He's on the tram.
And the music to these films is simply brilliant!!
This is Jason Bourne still here thank you
Jason Bourne is basically a highly skilled individual with a new conscience he got due to the amnesia
Yeah that is one of the bigger difference to the book. Movie Bourne is like a different person after his amnesia
Neeson may have a special set of skills, Bourne has every skill known to anyone ever
Then john wick fucks him 🤣
You harm someone they love and treasure above all else, say your prayers, make your peace to whatever god or gods you worship because your dead, you just don't know it yet, you are a dead man walking!
One of the best scenes in Bourne series.
The connection between the Bourne series and Andor is why both are superb in their story telling.
"shes standing right next to you" is so terrifying i actually felt my stomach drop.
Pamela Landy such an iconic ,love her character
The screenplay of this movie is like Bullet Train. I think I forgot to blink every now and then during watching it. 🔥
there's a great line from Nikki when their all trying to work out who's giving Bourne his 'assignments'. Nikki, " scary version. He is... ". Fantastic writing & acting.
My all time favorite series. Tku Matt Damon !
I loved this scene. "She's standing right next to you" haha
this triology background score has something different energy which makes me feel the pain, or feel like loosing something, i cant understand its many years and i believe this score will stays with me for the whole life
Really love all this types of movies specially Bourne!! Jason Bourne!!
The most brilliant captivating and lovable movie sequel ever ! Top of everything! Love you Sir Jason Bourne
This movie is a masterpiece
I know it's not Bourne and it's not intelligence but Nicky's "It's not a mistake. They don't make mistakes" part also gives Pamela a very clear indication Jason is not just some lucky asset.
"scary version? He is" - Nicky
BEST SEQUENCE! ❤
Jason Bourne showing for CIA who's really in control! Memorable scene!
Still one of the most underrated movie trilogies ever!!!!
The most impressive skill the CIA taught him was being able to find a cab when tailing someone.
That cab was conveniently there waiting wasn't it? What luck...haha
@@rileywhittenberger5258 The way he thinks everything through, he probably planned for that too.
They don’t do random. There is always a plan
😂😂😂
3:48 I always laugh at this line "Wanna go home? Find Jason Bourne." Just because 1) All the workers are probably like man this is gonna be a long day of work 😂😂🤣🤣. 2) As soon as she says that, Jason has already found them ahaha. Brilliant!
Can we go home now?
@@jamesbondoo81 no. KEEEP FINDING!
@@grixjay8620 🤣
These were some of the best movies ever.
I like the cello playing!!
Good movie when movies were movies. Need to get back to that.
Movies are not movies anymore? What are they now, paintings?^^
I read the Bourne trilogy sometime around the late 80s... Ludlum was a genius writer and kept you on the edge of your seat from cover to cover.. even back then I knew that one day those books would be made into movies. In my mind, the best action/suspense trilogy ever made and very true to the original story as written by Ludlum.
You'll be happy to miss the mini-series with Richard Chamberlain as Bourne and Jacklyn Smith as Marie. This is far superior.
We must have read very different editions. Only the first book and movie share any thematic similarities and plot points.
I agree, you get way more details, reading a book, rather than a movie. Movies get heavily edited, in the end. That sometimes, leave out crucial details out.
I'm a bit confused as to how you think this is true to the books. Bourne is different, the main antagonist is not Treadstone, just one guy and that's only for one book. The main antagonist of the books doesn't even exist in the movies. Bourne isn't a stable person with amnesia as portrayed in the movies. He is David Webb and he's nearly schizophrenic from the trauma of what he went through and has borderline personality disorder. He has literal arguments in his own head with "Jason Bourne" who whispers into his mind to let him take over. In two when Marie dies was the last straw. In the books if Marie dies "Jason Bourne" takes over and kills EVERYONE. We see this. He's so far gone that he doesn't even recognize Marie when Marie is standing right in front of him begging him to stop.
@@TPund - You've clearly read them more recently than I... It was the late 80s and I've probably read around a thousand books since then... I guess I need to keep in mind that social media is full of pedants and not rely so much on a fading memory when making a cursory remark. Thanks for the reminder that time takes a slow toll.
I will pull this movie up on Netflix or something to watch again. Brilliant anyway you slice it.
I traveled Europe for a couple years and always listened to the Bourne soundtrack when getting on and off trains 😂
No doubt,the bourne series outsmarts many of the Bond movies .Bourne is portrayed as a no nonsense guy,he got unbelievable skills.
Having said all that,it is really baffling to see that the supposedly best secret service in the world would choose such an office where anybody could see them through lens doing what they want to hide from the world.
That kinda office might suit some interior designing/IT company ,most certainly not a secret service agency.
If he didnt follow her to that exact building he will never find her and thats the point cause it looks like any building u can find everywhere
True, they could have covered their tracks better and they should have known better. But then again, Bourne is an agent that the CIA underestimates because of their hubris. And like the commenter right before me, that was the exact point. The best cover is the one you'd least expect. If it seems best suited as a IT/interior designing company, then that serves the mission best.
That's what you call hiding in plain sight..
It isn't their main building. It's some random building that their using for now in another country. And hiding in plain site is good enough cause no one knows what that building is.
I will follow the Sherlock Rule here: There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact!
