“Do you even know why you’re supposed to kill me? Look at us, look at what they make you give” Chills everytime i watch this movie. Full circle moment for Jason and now he finally understands what that meant. It’s my favorite scene from the entire series.
The Bourne Supremacy is by far my favorite in the trilogy. What I love the most about it is the fact it made other spy movies in the genre create stories with more realism.
since you asked about jason bourne vs john wick, here are a few points. the actors who played these characters had extensive training. that training went much further with matt damon in hand to hand, but much further with keanu in weapons training. damon trained in a phillipine martial art called cali which is based on incorporating your surroundings and whatever is realistically available to use as a weapon. bourne's pen to the hand in the first film was 12 years before the pencil story in john wick. since bourne is a cia assasin, and so is denzel's character from the equalizer, and liam neeson's character in taken, ( although the others are more implied than spelled out like the bourne films). the first question is "who would win out of the cia assets"? john wick is a hit-man in an immensely fictional paradigm. secret clubs with gold coin payments and unusual services and policies, i mean, john wick is set far less in the "real world" than the other characters i mentioned. any of them might succeed on any given day against any of the others is the real answer to who would win. i have a strong preference for bourne if we are talking about sequel quality. all of those franchises have a great first movie, and some of the sequels are good too. bourne starts out amazing, and just keeps getting better for 2 more films. and the bourne films came first. they set a standard that hasnt been equaled by the others.
I feel like John Wick's endurance and stamina would win out. Look at the stuff he went though just in the last one. But I get your point. Just depends on the day.
Depends of the scenario. John Wick is an assassin and doesn't matter how much I enjoy Keanu his character doesn't have the counter intelligence training of the rest. He is always jump on while the rest see you coming from afar. Wick knows how to go in, kill the target and go out. If we play different scenarios he has less chances than the rest.
@@NavsangeetSingh Bourne is supposedly physically and mentally in many ways superior to nearly any person. It does depend on the day, but I'm giving it to bourne more then not.
Jen sees Julia Stiles in The Borne Identity says,"Yeah Im not a fan!" Jen sees Julia Stiles about to be merked in The Borne Ultimatum and has a mothers level of worry for Nikki.... love it 😂
5:53 Omg props to your editor here xD I actually thought in my head when he said “where’s my picture please…” that it would be funny if they put his face on the screen and that’s exactly what happened lol
I adore this film. _The Bourne Ultimatum_ is one of the best action films of the 2000s, and maybe of all time for me... I fear that shaky-cam has, perhaps justifiably, gained a bad reputation since these films were released. But, with this and _Supremacy_ before, it has never bothered me in this series. In fact, I believe Paul Greengrass's hyper-energized documentary style lends greatly to the gritty fights. He is by far the best practitioner of this kind of camera work. I highly recommend seeing _Captain Phillips_ for another great case of his methods. I never felt disoriented or confused here in the fights. This is largely due to the edits being timed so as to draw your attention to the small movements and gestures that turn the tide in the moment to moment swings of combat. Couple that with perfectly timed zooms, it puts you in Bourne's head as he quickly discerns how to gain the upper hand. The result is a fun, visceral, and kinetic fight in a dingy bathroom. The story, while fairly minimal, is coolly efficient. We don't need to know the details of what Nikki and Bourne's relationship was before the amnesia, but its allusion makes for a more rich tapestry upon which the action takes place. He has lost so much of who he was, that the only thing left for him is to run to the end. Look at what they made him give... What we were given was a fun ride, a biting look at contemporary paranoia, and a tragedy where a hollow man desperately searches to find his soul. _10/10_
Jen, Your enthusiasm for this series has been peak throughout, you gotta convince Holden to finish the series and watch the rest. You'll get lore on the programs that involve Bourne and get the whole enchilada by the time it's done.
A lot of people hate on Legacy but I really enjoy that movie. Great Renner and Weiss. I think my least fav one is Jason Bourne just because we waited so long for it and when it was announced I was so excited and it didn’t live up to expectations. Not to say it was bad it just wasn’t AS good as it should have been.
In a shot of Bourne jumping over the roofs in Tangier, Morroco they take a close-up shot of the top of the concrete wall. It is completely lined with broken glass imbedded in the top of the wall. I had never seen this until I was sent to S. Korea in 1968 in response to the hijacking of the USS Pueblo. Local residents had apartments on a common courtyard surrounded by a concrete wall. For security, they also imbedded broken glass in the top of their walls. Something to know before trying to jump a fence/wall in a foreign country.
The Waterloo train station scene is my favourite from the series, it was my main station when I went into London growing up. Me and my friends loved looking for snipers in the advert banner that was there for years after the bourne series finished 😃
It wasn't a good revolution. Today they use a far smoother version of shaky cam because audiences didn't like it on full tilt. It ruined hand to hand combat scenes because you couldn't truly see all the "moves" they were making.
The shaky cam is emblematic of Paul Greengrass movies. I'm really not a fan of it either. Greengrass uses it far too much. Still, I loved the scene with Desh in Morocco. The running across the rooftops and jumping through that window was so slick.
@nikolatesla5553 It is a cool visual, but it's kinda obvious that thing shattered right before his body hit the "window". I do agree, that fight with Desh was sweet, one of the best fights in the whole Bourne series. Took watching it a cpl times to figure out all the choreography of it.
@@jeffcunningham0389 I'm happy you enjoy it. Unfortunately the far majority don't, at least not to that degree. Most ppl can't understand what's going on with fight scenes like that, even with multiple viewings. I got about 60% - 70% of it in the theater. Once I watched it home a cpl times I understood everything they were doing. Still don't care for it though, prefer a good steady cam that moves and follows action without having to make so many Cuts that it feels like Film by IKEA!
That shot of holden in the water cracks me up every time, he always does the funniest floater impressions - like on Alien Covenant, its grime but freakin funny.
I loved that you went through this beautiful series, that was a fun watchlaong with you two! It would be pretty great if you did the flip-side (kinda) of this and did 1973's Day of the Jackal. Pretty much the 'invention' if not first iteration of the cold, methodical, focused, much less civil assassin, matched alongside with 'actual' old-school detective work.
I always loved when Jason would say. Get some rest Pam, you look tired. and such things. Myself, the shaky cam doesn't bother me. It adds a deeper feeling of the chaos in the fight scenes.
I showed my buddy the Bourne series for the first time last week, and he showed me John Wick for the first time also. After we were all done we asked the question: If Jasone Bourne, John Wick, James Bond (Craig) and Ethan Hunt were in a room with no guns or fancy weapons, just normal office supplies, who would come out on top in a free-for-all. It was honestly easier than we thought. We both almost immediately agreed that Wick would come out ontop, 2nd would be Bourne, followed by Bond then Hunt. We agreed it came down to Bourne and Wick for hand-to-hand combat, but we gave the edge to Wick seeing as Bourne is technically just acting on instinct since he lost his memories where as Wick is in full control of all his abilities.
In my opinion, Bourne would definitely beat them all. Just because he uses 100% of his brain and adapts to his surroundings. Also he is the most realistic out of all of the other respective characters
Well you and your friend's opinion is wrong! 😆 Just kidding. But seriously I think Bourne would win for the exact reasons you listed he would lose. He is going off instinct, but look at how many people trained and fully in control (like John Wick) he was able to take out with that perceived handicap. If his mind ever does fully reintegrate nobody stands a chance.
IMO, the first 3 movies are GREAT, minus the cinematography. I didn't notice the problem with it until Supremacy. The 2nd movie. But in general, that kills this series. And other than this series, I've never heard that before, about any movie or series movies. Legacy, is about another character, Aaron Cross. Damen is not in that movie, but it mentions him and shows photos of him. It is a good movie, keeps the action moving but gives new charaters while mentioning the same story as the first 3. Then 5th movie, AMAZING. IMO. Great Post guys.
I’ve been eagerly waiting for the reaction video to the Bourne ultimatum to almost conclude. I really really really hope you watch Jason Bourne (2016). If it’s a big ask, it would be worth skipping Legacy as that really doesn’t build any story around Jason Bourne. Absolute legends the pair of you! Much love ❤
Watch the Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz movie "The Bourne Legacy" (2012). It explains what they did to Bourne & all of the other agents & why all the agents have headaches. I'm pretty sure that Jen will really like the ending!
No, they specifically say Bourne was a non-med agent. The program with runner and those agents was trying to take regular soldiers and put them on Bourne’s level
I would definitely react to The Bourne Legacy. Its a good sequel that goes deeper into the story how the soldiers are modified in physical and intellectual abilities. You also see who is really in charge of the programs. Edward Norton, Jeremy Renner and Rachael Weitz all are great.
I feel like you guys would really like Legacy too. Jeremy Renner is great in it and I just love the close combat fighting he does. Too bad he wasn't used much in Mission Impossible, but in Bourne Legacy he gets to shine.
In the Tangier chase scene, Nicky, played by Julia Stiles, and Desh, played by Joey Ansah, are seen pushing past the citizens. These are not extras; Tangier was too crowded and the flow of the people was hard to control, hence the two are genuinely pushing through the crowd.
Jen, the fight scene with Desh, (which is my favorite of the series), is remarkably quiet, especially considering how much they beat the crap out of each other. It was something that I noticed after watching it for the first time. In fact, the only audible noise either them make is when Jason slams the book on Desh’s foot! Also, this my favorite of the trilogy. The shaky-cam has never bothered me. I didn’t even notice it until so many people complained about it.
Please absolutely watch Legacy and JB. The trilogy works on its own, but the other two are fun watches being in the same universe. There’s also a show in the same universe called Treadstone that’s worth watching.
Jason Bourne would obliterate John Wick...people forget that John Wick should have been killed multiple times in the first film, except Plot Armor protected him. Were it not for John's teacher, his enemies would have killed him on multiple occasions...but John was saved. Jason Bourne doesn't need saving this entire series, Jason Bourne isn't fighting a criminal organization but rather he's fighting other super assassins built just like him and he's dispatching all of them with extreme ease.
Yea, No. john wick defeats him easily. John wick literally beat all the best assassins in the world in had to hand combat. Like what are u talking about?
@jeffcunningham0389 regular assassins, not super soldier serum assassins trained to be the ultimate infiltrators in every single way. John Wick is a t800 from Terminator, Jason Bourne is the t1000 from Judgment Day. You saying John Wick faces the best assassins is comparable to what Jason Bourne is facing, that's like saying Hulk is better than Thanos even after getting that 2-piece fade by Thanos and Thanos running the whole of the Avengers.
@ um common from part 2 was a super assasin, almost equal to john wick, the main villain and his 2 henchmen in part 3 were all super assassins. Any of them would also kill jason bourne
@@jeffcunningham0389 none of them are actual super assassins, they are elite assassins for what they do...but Jason Bourne and the other assets from the Black Ops projects in his verse are actual Super Soldiers...they have been enhanced. They run faster, they run longer, they shoot better, they analyze more effectively, they are stronger. You're calling Batman or Green Arrow a super soldier even though they are only trained to peak human condition, while actual super soldiers exist in Captain America, Black Panther, Green Goblin, Spider-Man. There's a difference between being elite at your craft and being a super. John Wick and the assassins of his verse are elite at their craft, but they are not enhanced...Jason Bourne and the assets of his verse are enhanced beyond human capabilities.
@ dude stop it. Jason bourne is based on real world logic and real world strength. John Wick is based on a fantasy world and otherworldly feats. On no planet does bourne win.
The Bourne Legacy is a jewel if a film, particularly if like seeing the workings of the agency as they put out fires that involve the different assets. Lots of good performances from big names as well.
You guys should add Green Zone to the list as well, from what I remember I think that movie is supposed to be a prequel to these movies. I could be wrong.
It's not a prequel. It's got nothing to do with the Bourne universe. It was just Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon teaming up for another action movie, but it apparently bombed.
It's not really just a trilogy. There is more info about Bourne (in number 5). Number 4 is also really good. I would like it if they did another one to follow on from 4. You want to know more about Jason? You have to get to number 5.
I think you guys should definitely watch the next 2 movies. You get more behind the scenes about the CIA programs and even more backstory on Jason Bourne. Jeremy Renner does a great job in Legacy and you get more inside information about what life as one of the agents is like. All good stuff.
I highly recommend watching the other 2 bourne films they are both great legacy actually takes place during ultimatum they roughly run parallel to each other
The shaky cam criticism stems from two issues: 1) it's meant for a big screen. a 50 foot wide one. As such it uses some trickery of the eye/brain functionality - which is your eyesight can only really focus on a tiny postage stamp size region of the visual field (the fovea). Everything else is rather peripheral. As a result the shaking does not bother most people on the big screen, but on a small screen your entire fovea covers the screen. And 2) Holden may have a maladapted brain as to why it bothers him so much and not Jan so much. We move our eyes and heads a remarkable amount in everyday tasks, but the brain smooths this out with complex higher function editing so to speak. Even if you are say driving on a bumpy road and being jostled about, and having to look at a sequence of scans of the dash, the mirrors and the road ahead - the normal brain smooths this jerky motion out in your perceived vision in the brain. But if that function is not really well developed, well this film will bother you. If you ever use a VR headset and record what you see, say in a flight simulator, the video is even shakier than this film, because your eyes and head flit about so damn much, but the person wearing the VR googles did not experience this extreme shaky cam, because of that brain smoothing.
John Wick came out during the Superhero Era, hence the almost video-game-esque (a.k.a. unrealistic) nature of his combat style and the over-the-top plot lines, and while entertaining, would be an apples & oranges comparison with Jason Bourne. That said, Jason Bourne exhibits more tactical intelligence and its clear many tropes from John Wick were taken straight from this series.
I can't recall if you have reacted to this movie or not but I HIGHLY recommend reacting to Sneakers (1992). It's not as frantic and hectic as the Bourne movies, but it's a great entry into the spy/espionage genre. It's dramatic, suspenseful, and quite funny too. It's got a great ensemble cast as well.
Great reaction, very entertaining and funny! 👌😊The camera stuff is a bit of a negative about these movies but they are still so cool! I like the spy aspects of this and the fact that Bourne does so much improvisation and the funny quotes that someone looks tired or they would meet face to face in the office. If you want 2 action movies with extremely impressive camera work, you have to watch "Extraction" from 2020 and the follow up movie. Crazy long one shots and an stuntman as the cameraman.
They actually backed off on the shaky cam in this one, it's not as bad as number 2. This is my favorite installment of the series. I think they streamlined and refined the formula in the best way.
I think the fight scenes in the Bourne series is the only time the quick cut style has ever been done right, with the exception of Supremacy. That one went a little too far but the rest are done more tasteful in my opinion. It's supposed to give you the feel that you're in the same room, so it's chaotic but you can still catch what's happening.
The Bourne Legacy is actually a good movie. Worth watching as a Bourne related film. The Jason Bourne movie, the last one, I found wasn't worth my time and made odd choices. 👍
The scene when he was in the office and breaking into the safe is my favorite of the series.
"If you were in your office, we'd be having this conversation face to face." Click

Amazing scene
That's such a mic drop line.
Her smile at the end is the best part of the movie.
YES. So much said with a little smirk. :D
It gave me chills
“Do you even know why you’re supposed to kill me? Look at us, look at what they make you give”
Chills everytime i watch this movie. Full circle moment for Jason and now he finally understands what that meant. It’s my favorite scene from the entire series.
That whole Desh sequence is peak Bourne.
Bourne in his prime 👌🏼
“HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN!” 😂
Identity is good. Supremacy is great. Ultimatum is good. One of the best trilogies of all time.
The Bourne Supremacy is by far my favorite in the trilogy. What I love the most about it is the fact it made other spy movies in the genre create stories with more realism.
The best Bourne movie in my opinion. Great theater experience as well, people were cheering throughout.
In the first movie, Jason fights with a pen. In the second movie he fights with a magazine, and in the third movie, he fights with a book.
In the next one he needs to fight with an ethernet cable.
The next one will be a kindle.
I saw this in the theater. When Jason started to swim, the theater was on its feet.!
I always love the office scene, one of my fave parts.
I do love the call-back to "look at what they make you give" such a good one.
😂😂 Holden floating underwater BROKE ME!! 😂😂

Bourne Legacy is absolutely worth a watch...good story, great performances, and SIGNIFICANTLY less shaky-cam nonsense.

Doesn't bother me either but some people are of Cro-Magnon man descent and can't handle it.
The Bourne movies are the only films I can think of where shaky cam was used and it didn’t bother me.
This one was my favorite out of the 5 Bourne movies.
that smirk on your face when marie was killed lol you were totally thinking about making that drowning meme
Watch the fifth one. It answers some questions about Bourne's past. Why he joined, his father, Nicky. Etc.

Wow! Great review from the both of you!
The "Extraction" movies on Netflix are a worthy follow-up to the Bourne series. Have you seen them?
He doesn't even want to follow up the original story with the completion of the damn thing. 😂
The series Treadstone that was on Prime which forms part of this franchise was really good I thought.

I honestly thought the shaky cam was far worse in the second than the third. But maybe that's because i think the third movie is one of the best.
I would definitely react to The Bourne Legacy. Its a good sequel that goes deeper into the story how the soldiers are modified in physical and intellectual abilities. You also see who is really in charge of the programs. Edward Norton, Jeremy Renner and Rachael Weitz all are great.
I feel like you guys would really like Legacy too. Jeremy Renner is great in it and I just love the close combat fighting he does. Too bad he wasn't used much in Mission Impossible, but in Bourne Legacy he gets to shine.
the "eye balls on the streets" literally was gold editing lmao
And the Oscar goes to Holden Hardman In the category for the best performance of drowning.🤣😂
Burst into laughter with those cut ins Holden 😂
If Holden hasn't seen The Recruit, definitely react to it.
You guys really need to watch Jason Bourne to finish this Story
In the Tangier chase scene, Nicky, played by Julia Stiles, and Desh, played by Joey Ansah, are seen pushing past the citizens. These are not extras; Tangier was too crowded and the flow of the people was hard to control, hence the two are genuinely pushing through the crowd.
26:55 yes if he has not see the recruit, you guys should react to it!! I love the movie!!
❤
Jen, the fight scene with Desh, (which is my favorite of the series), is remarkably quiet, especially considering how much they beat the crap out of each other. It was something that I noticed after watching it for the first time. In fact, the only audible noise either them make is when Jason slams the book on Desh’s foot!
Also, this my favorite of the trilogy. The shaky-cam has never bothered me. I didn’t even notice it until so many people complained about it.
Please absolutely watch Legacy and JB.
The trilogy works on its own, but the other two are fun watches being in the same universe.
There’s also a show in the same universe called Treadstone that’s worth watching.
Jason Bourne would obliterate John Wick...people forget that John Wick should have been killed multiple times in the first film, except Plot Armor protected him. Were it not for John's teacher, his enemies would have killed him on multiple occasions...but John was saved.
Jason Bourne doesn't need saving this entire series, Jason Bourne isn't fighting a criminal organization but rather he's fighting other super assassins built just like him and he's dispatching all of them with extreme ease.
Yea, No. john wick defeats him easily. John wick literally beat all the best assassins in the world in had to hand combat. Like what are u talking about?
@jeffcunningham0389 regular assassins, not super soldier serum assassins trained to be the ultimate infiltrators in every single way. John Wick is a t800 from Terminator, Jason Bourne is the t1000 from Judgment Day. You saying John Wick faces the best assassins is comparable to what Jason Bourne is facing, that's like saying Hulk is better than Thanos even after getting that 2-piece fade by Thanos and Thanos running the whole of the Avengers.
@ um common from part 2 was a super assasin, almost equal to john wick, the main villain and his 2 henchmen in part 3 were all super assassins. Any of them would also kill jason bourne
@@jeffcunningham0389 none of them are actual super assassins, they are elite assassins for what they do...but Jason Bourne and the other assets from the Black Ops projects in his verse are actual Super Soldiers...they have been enhanced. They run faster, they run longer, they shoot better, they analyze more effectively, they are stronger. You're calling Batman or Green Arrow a super soldier even though they are only trained to peak human condition, while actual super soldiers exist in Captain America, Black Panther, Green Goblin, Spider-Man. There's a difference between being elite at your craft and being a super. John Wick and the assassins of his verse are elite at their craft, but they are not enhanced...Jason Bourne and the assets of his verse are enhanced beyond human capabilities.
@ dude stop it. Jason bourne is based on real world logic and real world strength. John Wick is based on a fantasy world and otherworldly feats. On no planet does bourne win.
You should watch The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner. It is a different storyline, but really good.
There's also a series called Treadstone. I think it only had one season.
Although at first I thought there was no need for it, I found Jason Bourne entertaining and a nice bookend that wraps up the series.
The Bourne Legacy is a jewel if a film, particularly if like seeing the workings of the agency as they put out fires that involve the different assets. Lots of good performances from big names as well.
You guys should add Green Zone to the list as well, from what I remember I think that movie is supposed to be a prequel to these movies. I could be wrong.
It's not a prequel. It's got nothing to do with the Bourne universe. It was just Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon teaming up for another action movie, but it apparently bombed.
It's not really just a trilogy. There is more info about Bourne (in number 5). Number 4 is also really good. I would like it if they did another one to follow on from 4.
You want to know more about Jason? You have to get to number 5.
Shout out to the editor 5:45 please tell me how you did that. Lol. So funny
I think you guys should definitely watch the next 2 movies. You get more behind the scenes about the CIA programs and even more backstory on Jason Bourne. Jeremy Renner does a great job in Legacy and you get more inside information about what life as one of the agents is like. All good stuff.
I highly recommend watching the other 2 bourne films they are both great legacy actually takes place during ultimatum they roughly run parallel to each other
Wait. There’s a fifth??
@@EliasuSan there is five and also a tv show in the same universe
The shaky cam criticism stems from two issues: 1) it's meant for a big screen. a 50 foot wide one. As such it uses some trickery of the eye/brain functionality - which is your eyesight can only really focus on a tiny postage stamp size region of the visual field (the fovea). Everything else is rather peripheral. As a result the shaking does not bother most people on the big screen, but on a small screen your entire fovea covers the screen. And 2) Holden may have a maladapted brain as to why it bothers him so much and not Jan so much. We move our eyes and heads a remarkable amount in everyday tasks, but the brain smooths this out with complex higher function editing so to speak. Even if you are say driving on a bumpy road and being jostled about, and having to look at a sequence of scans of the dash, the mirrors and the road ahead - the normal brain smooths this jerky motion out in your perceived vision in the brain. But if that function is not really well developed, well this film will bother you. If you ever use a VR headset and record what you see, say in a flight simulator, the video is even shakier than this film, because your eyes and head flit about so damn much, but the person wearing the VR googles did not experience this extreme shaky cam, because of that brain smoothing.
He's definitely smooth brained
The newest Jason Bourne movie will answer Jen's questions.
29:54 glad to know I’m not the only one who puts two and two together.
John Wick came out during the Superhero Era, hence the almost video-game-esque (a.k.a. unrealistic) nature of his combat style and the over-the-top plot lines, and while entertaining, would be an apples & oranges comparison with Jason Bourne. That said, Jason Bourne exhibits more tactical intelligence and its clear many tropes from John Wick were taken straight from this series.
There comes more information in Jason Bourne!
I can't recall if you have reacted to this movie or not but I HIGHLY recommend reacting to Sneakers (1992). It's not as frantic and hectic as the Bourne movies, but it's a great entry into the spy/espionage genre. It's dramatic, suspenseful, and quite funny too. It's got a great ensemble cast as well.
Great reaction, very entertaining and funny! 👌😊The camera stuff is a bit of a negative about these movies but they are still so cool! I like the spy aspects of this and the fact that Bourne does so much improvisation and the funny quotes that someone looks tired or they would meet face to face in the office.
If you want 2 action movies with extremely impressive camera work, you have to watch "Extraction" from 2020 and the follow up movie. Crazy long one shots and an stuntman as the cameraman.
Legacy is vital to the whole franchise. It reveals information that ties up the whole story.
That’s the one with Renner?
Shame it goes sci-fi and ruins Ultimatum ending.
30:54 such a lovely callback.
They actually backed off on the shaky cam in this one, it's not as bad as number 2. This is my favorite installment of the series. I think they streamlined and refined the formula in the best way.
I think the fight scenes in the Bourne series is the only time the quick cut style has ever been done right, with the exception of Supremacy. That one went a little too far but the rest are done more tasteful in my opinion. It's supposed to give you the feel that you're in the same room, so it's chaotic but you can still catch what's happening.
You should really watch the other 2 movies. You cant just leave them out as Movie Fans. Theyre both entertaining! Dew it! 😂
I recommend Legacy. IMO, Jeremy Renner does a decent job carrying on the tradition.
I think you guys would like watching the borne legacy. Jeremy Renner plays a pretty sweet “Borne” like super spy/assassin.
Enjoying the reactions... then "DARTH VADAH!" Hilarious!
I Never realized they cameout with another bourn movie after legacy
They should watch Shooter if they like espionage
Blackbriar was mentioned in the first movie too
Hopefully you guys react to
The Recruit
PG-13 2003 ‧ Thriller/Action ‧ 1h 55m
The Bourne Legacy is actually a good movie. Worth watching as a Bourne related film. The Jason Bourne movie, the last one, I found wasn't worth my time and made odd choices. 👍
