Jason Bourne Identity was a total shift of paradigm in action film making. It changed James Bond from Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig, it created John Wick and practically everything else in action.

[@the-nomad-show]

To be fair, I do miss Brosnan. He was on another level compared to Craig. That being said, Bourne's influence on the action genre can't be understaded. :)

[@selfishstockton6123]

Taken, Hostage, The Equalizer franchise. The most goes on and on in action movies not influenced by this franchise that jumped the shark after the last movie Matt Damon was in

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

It created John Wick 🤔

[@DeadlyBeast205]

Jason Bourne vs John Wick would be the greatest movie in cinema history

[@Tazza19931]

[@user-ct8cw1cx3p]

@@Tazza19931 Ethan Hunt ain’t in their league.

[@dustinma6466]

​@user-ct8cw1cx3p Ethan Hunt is more cerebral/espionage. I think him paired with Wick is a win for sure. He's not on the combat level of the other three, actually it's more of a Bourne vs Wick battle at that point, but paired with Mr. Wick, they'd dominate. Wick dominates anyway... Ethan Hunt on his side is just overkill. Just basing off of movie feats alone, Wick beats all 1v1. Wick vs 007 and Hunt is a win but close. So anyone on Wicks side wins. Just my opinion based off of movie feats.

[@patron40silver]

Jason Bourne is one of the most badass characters in movie history. I like the fact that Asia's spidey senses tell her that something is about to happen but she still jumps when it does.

[@Hype679]

This series still one of the better ones 20 years later. The Mini chase is still some crazy stuntwork.

[@AVGuyhall]

Jason Bourne is one of my absolute favorite movie characters. I read the first book and love the way he was "modernized" to function in today's world. His reliance on his training to survive when he doesn't even know who he is speaks to the level he was trained by the government. And then to use that training against those who want to get rid of the inconvenience that they created is sweet. And great acting by everyone, especially the people in charge of Treadstone. The soundtrack is awesome. You know government agencies have their secret programs as depicted in these movies and the Manchurian Candidate.

[@galaxytraveler5779]

Absolutely, especially with the knowledge of the MK Ultra programs being a real thing.

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

I read the book and absolute HATED the romantic elements of it. It was all "my darling" this, "my darling" that.... Ugh! Makes my skin crawl. Lol

@@reactions5783 I wonder how he’s doing these days. Jeremy had a bad accident a couple of winters ago.

[@jamesharris2296]

They were trying to kill him because they didn't know what he was up to. The mission failed, but then he didn't check in. Had he gone rogue? Had he defected? They didn't know he had amnesia. Amnesia can be caused by any physical shock, so that might have been regular amnesia. But as you find out later, Jason's psychological responses might not be typical.

[@gerardroll6468]

One of the best spy / action / thriller trilogies ever 👍😎

[@erickwebster1973]

Even though Matt Damon was already a famous actor before the Bourne movies, these movies is what turned him into an action star

There's actually 5 in the series. The 4th one doesn't have Matt Damon in it but it does reference him and follow the same story line. The 5th one called Jason Bourne brings Matt Damon back and completes the series...unless they decide to make a 6th.

[@angelaatwood46]

[@misshell]

I loved the books, so when they made it into a movie, I was excited. They definitely made Matt Damon's character more "good" and a bit less ruthless in the movies!

[@christineraffa-diggon]

I don't know he seems a bit ruthless to me. ❤

[@cameronrobinson3933]

You know that just makes me want to read the books which the books are probably completely different in a lot of regards just like every movie that's made off of a book I love The Bourne Identity movie series even The Bourne Legacy but I have a feeling I would love the books a lot more Jason Bourne is more ruthless in the books and I guarantee you there's more scenarios with him that he has to deal with.

[@Do0msday]

@@cameronrobinson3933 The books are almost NOTHING like the movies, but that's ok. I love both. The books deal with amnesia and what not, but it also deals with a cat and mouse game to lure someone out. The way it's done is pretty interesting because there's essentially 3 sides to it. And in the books Jason is an absolute tactician. He has plans within plans. He can change the way he walks and acts -- almost like he can become a new person whenever needed. Hence why he's referred to as The Chameleon. I highly recommend the books because they're veryyy heavy in the espionage part as well with a lot of action sprinkled in.

[@renewillner5061]

Agreed

[@asiimov16]

Im gonna sound real stupid here but aaanyway, i didnt even know/remember that there are books so thanks for that, i might actually find some "new" stuff to read during the holidays!

[@spydude38]

They are all good. Then "The Bourne Legacy" although it was panned by some, is actually quite good on it's own.

[@MrTech226]

Matt return as Jason Bourne (2016) direct sequel to the trilogy with the director of the trilogy, Paul Greengrass at the helm.

[@cameronrobinson3933]

I completely agree. I was looking forward to more movies in that series and was kind of disappointed that Matt Damon pulled a Jay Leno and came back and put an end to that but I also think the movie Jason Bourne is great and Matt Damon's one of my favorite actors so I'll forgive it but The Bourne Legacy was really good.

[@nizzyb1976]

All five Bourne movies are 🔥

[@jtrem08]

I also loved Legacy, not as good as Supremacy or Ultimatum, but still a solid action flick.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

He (I believe) was in the military and was recruited by the govt. to be a part of this project. He was trained as an assassin. Even after the trauma of being shot made him lose his memory, his instincts kicked in whenever he was under stress. Y'all should watch the whole series. The other movies are all well worth watching.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Asia and BJ, Bourne wants a regular life as he watches the kids at the lay over house. Deep in his soul he has a code (NO WOMEN, NO KIDS). Seeing Wombsi kids made him hesitate and fail the mission. ------- He just wants to be a regular man not a world class GOD Tier assassin. ------- Clive Owens' dialogue lets us know so much, "They takes so much from us. Look at what they make you give." ------- The price of being a 007 agent is so high for sure.

[@user-yr3hu1ug7r]

Love the comment. really good stuff. But I would just say the "no women" part doesn't fit. He has killed women. His very first "hit" was the Russian guy (Neski) and his wife. It was suppose to be just Neski but the wife wanted to surprise him in the hotel room so Jason had to improvise. So both were killed and made it look like a murder suicide.

Matt is an A list actor. Love him in these movies, but my favorite is The Martian. Wonderful movie, all Star cast.

[@jimglenn6972]

One of my favorite movies! Matt Damon and Frank’s Potente are great. The three part series tells a single story so definitely watch all three. The original stories were written years ago in the 70’s and the movies are brought to the present ( but 20 years ago). The story is really great. I also like “The Bourne Legacy” with Jeremy Renner and Rachael Weisz from The Mummy. It explains how the program happened and I think it great, too. It takes place at the same time as the third one. There is a final one called “ Jason Bourne “ but it was added on later to cash in on the rest. I think it’s a “C” movie. Enjoy the other two with Jason and please consider “Legacy”.

[@gordonhaire9206]

I think "Legacy" was the best.

[@xzonia1]

I loved Legacy and the first 3 movies; didn't even know there was another one after Legacy. Sad to hear it wasn't as good as the others, as the 4 I've seen were all fantastic!

[@kevind4850]

4 and 5 weren't made to cash in. Universal's movie deal with Ludlum (author of the books) specified a certain number of films (I don't recall whether it was 5 or 6), so they had to keep making them even after Ludlum died before completing any more books beyond the first 3 or overseeing new scripts in the series. I also liked _Legacy_ btw and wouldn't mind Renner in another if he recovers enough to do another action film (maybe even he and Damon together - probably will never happen though).

[@jimglenn6972]

[@TedBrogan]

In a world with James Bond and Mission Impossible, the Bourne Trilogy may be the coolest of the spy genre films because they are the most grounded and realistic. The first 3 complete a narrative arc (based on books). The 4th one (Jeremy Renner) has different characters in the same universe, but delves into exactly how the program works and how these agents are so efficient. And the last & most recent one is basically an epilogue of Jason Bourne's specific arc (some would call a cash grab/studio suggested project - but not at all a bad film). Hope you watch them all! The most underrated aspect of the trilogy to me is the score. Just puts out that spy drama mood.

Agency in this movie is Central Intelligence Agency aka CIA. Bourne (Matt) is highly trained Tier 1 Asset works on classified covert missions. As both of you go through Rabbit Hole of Jason Bourne will know Jason Bourne. I believe that creator and director of John Wick was influenced by this franchise. Bourne was broken asset according to the agency who working on his memory as John Wick wanted normal life away from his past. Handler in this movie stated Bourne can't leave the program.

When they reference him being a 30 million dollar weapon they are talking about how much it cost to train him to be that weapon. All the guys they sent after him are the same as he is, Jason Bourne was the best hence why he didn't get killed. The last guy at the farmhouse said "see what they make us give" implying that they were one in the same.

[@martyemmons1859]

Watching your reaction video is why I view and 'like' them, Asia and BJ. It started when Asia asked, " Shoo(t)! Whatcha gotta do to get into THAT part of the bank!?!". And then it continued when she told BJ, "It started at the bank with the guy lookin' at him sideways". Then at the US embassy when Bourne is escaping, BJ commenting "There's a lock on it...he (Bourne) said damn the lock!". Identifying this movie with the "John Wick" movie is vice-versa. "The Bourne Identity" (2002) came 12 years before Wick (2014).

Jason Bourne character changed all of film making, in my opinion. First guy i ever saw stop to study a map, twice. John Wick's Godfather. You should read the books by Robert Ludlum. An actor turned novelist who knew nothing about the CIA but brought his own brand to life on paper and film

Went to see this in theaters when i was 11. Learned what scheisse was that day 😃 Nice pick guys. Sequels are definitely worth a hit up.

The Jason Bourne trilogy is absolute FIRE! You know how sequels aren't always as good as the original? The Bourne films are one of those exceptions - Matt Damon made a perfect Jason Bourne. Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum are all equally thrilling, all have insanely wicked car chases, kick-ass fight sequences, the camera work is CRAZY (you feel like you are going along for the ride with Jason Bourne); and the thriller level is off the chain. I love the music soundtracks on all of the films - it adds so much to an already excellent story, that builds as it goes along. It's a wild ride! According to the Robert Ludlum books, (found it online for a clear explanation) - Treadstone71 or Treadstone Seventy-One, per the novels, is a top-secret black ops program of the Central Intelligence Agency that recruited US Service members to turn them into nearly superhuman assassins. The program was formed in direct response to a Congressional Act that banned the US from partaking in assassinations. Treadstone71 used a behavior-modification program to break down the subjects’ morality to make them effective weapons. In the novels, it was formed after the Vietnam War. The program was so top-secret that several Deputy Directors of the CIA had and continue to have no idea of its existence. The Treadstone headquarters is located in New York City in a seemingly dilapidated house. Treadstone operatives were highly trained in various killing techniques and the use of improvised weapons. They possessed proficiency in sharpshooting, explosives, vehicular operations, and hand-to-hand combat. The operatives, such as Jason Bourne, the eponymous character from the books, also possessed a heightened awareness of their surroundings, lightning-fast reflexes, and other physical attributes. As you watch the next films in the Bourne series, it will make more sense.

At the start of the movie both we and Bourne do not know who Bourne is. We discover his identity as he too discovers it. Good to see you watching these great films.

[@davidbooth7778]

The two sequels are great. The 3 movie arc is quite a journey......I'm ready for your next one.

[@QuayNemSorr]

Please complete the trilogy. It's really great. Don't bother with the fourth and fifth movie though

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

Yes, the trilogy is outstanding!!

[@buckmeredith1720]

Why don’t you let them make up their own mind on whether they like them or not. All 5 are good movies.

[@Tbone.357]

That's an opinion. But only yours. Four is a good standalone although it ties together. Five completes it. Watch all of them and make up your own mind.

[@QuayNemSorr]

@@buckmeredith1720 Because they've got so many movies on their list they shouldn't waste time with bad ones.

[@buckmeredith1720]

@@QuayNemSorr they are not bad movies. Just because some of you don’t like them doesn’t make them bad.

[@jimglenn6972]

BJ, the “fighting style”, if you can call a style, is close to what taught to covert agents. It’s not like Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee but direct put down. And Asia, Jason doesn’t have a brother. You misheard what was said.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

The woman that helps him is great in film "RUN, LOLA, RUN!"👍👍👍👍👍

[@LeahCat-qc6ut]

Asia's scream at 3:40 made me jump 😅😂 I had forgotten that part! Haha! Great reaction to a great movie 🙂

[@davidstivers2537]

LMAO!!!!! “It’s raining men” lol, funniest tension breaker ever!

[@tinanickerson1006]

Awww man yea this trilogy will have you on your toes ...the fight scenes totally changed this genre of movie making. The newly restarted Bond series started a couple of years after this first Bourne flick and you could clearly see the Bourne influence on that series as well. Great review and can't wait till you review the next movie....awesome stuff!!

[@angelaatwood46]

I've seen them all and have them. You both, it ONLY gets better!!

[@phoenixmichaels]

Yes FIVE of these. One of them, "The Bourne Legacy" was the movie which introduced me to Jeremy Renner. Great movie too.

[@raymondpinsky1103]

So much to this one. Jeff Imata/Dan Inosantos. Original author and current writer Eric Van Lustbader..

[@deannacauley166]

19:39 I love that actor so much he played Adebisi on OZ

[@Deltadivaix]

Yup!

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Redhead he's with, is great in a fast paced "RUN LOLA, RUN!!!"👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@PixelatedSpirit]

All the kids are talking about Wick, but Bourne is the OG.

[@enlightenmenttv2287]

Asia talkin' 'bout "I gotta go!!!" after the car chase 😂😂😂 ...that was hilarious.
