Although this one is entertaining enough a lot of the story feels like retreads of its predecessors. I know part of this is intentional (Bourne once again besting a foe in a hand-to-hand fight with a book, the repeated conversation with Joan Allen, once again going on the run with a sympathetic lady, etc.) but it ends up being a little bit boring. Also having Brian Cox and Albert Finney playing different characters in the same film universe is just cruel. They are bizarrely interchangeable for two actors who are so talented and have distinctly different careers. It's bizarre and shouldn't be as confusing as it is but seriously they look too alike. Also this film continues the proud Bourne film tradition of having the other Treadstone spy-guys being devastatingly attractive actors whose careers are about to blow up.
Daniel Bruhl! He gets about 1.5 minutes of screen-time which seems criminal to me.
David Straitharn is a competent bad guy but I still liked Cooper's ambiguous bad-guyness verses Cooper's flat-out bad guy bad-guyness.
Édgar Ramírez, sigh.
The Bourne Flashback.
British actor Joey Ansah.
ALBERT FINNEY WHY YOU LOOK SO MUCH LIKE BRIAN COX
