Darker and Edgier | |
| Jason Bourne / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Surpassing the events of Legacy. Even by the standards of the series, this film is the darkest of them all. Robert Dewey and the Asset are easily the most villainous characters of the series. Between the way they casually murder their own people, the death of Bourne's most trusted ally, and the portrayal of institutionalized corruption in the American government and society, there are virtually no bright sides to the story. Of course, the kicker of it all is the last two scenes of the movie, where it's revealed that Heather Lee is much less benevolent than Pamela Landy before her and is not an ally at all, just another power-hungry bureaucrat intending to use Bourne as her pawn and willing to kill him if he refuses, and that Bourne rightly distrusts her. | |

Ripped from the Headlines: The film features contemporary events such as the European financial crisis (through the anti-austerity demonstrations in Greece) and much of its plot is inspired by the Edward Snowden leaks regarding illegal government surveillance. | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain | |
| Jason Bourne / int_171ef47c | comment |
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Dewey may not be a physical threat, but he is the head of the CIA and this gives him a massive amount of men and money. He used this to have Bourne's father killed, and arranges for the death of several characters. He is also an expert smooth talker, capable of getting Jason to stand down, and is the closest any villain in the series comes to killing Bourne. | |

Dewey turns up the seriousness of the film, and while the Asset does most of the heavy lifting, he is operating under Dewey's command. The fact that Dewey is responsible for the events of the series also turns up the seriousness. | |

Kick the Son of a Bitch | |
| Jason Bourne / int_32768814 | comment |
Kick The Son Of A Bitch: When the Asset corners Bourne and Smith on the roof, Bourne uses Smith as a bullet shield and then escapes. A hero who does that is either an Anti Hero or a Sociopathic Hero, except that Smith was monitoring a child and later participated in the murder of said child's father to drive him into a very illegal program, and likely did this to other children. Either way, no one is really too upset at Bourne's stunt with him. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Jason Bourne / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Dewey's plans hinge on this. When he learns about Nicky's hack, he counts on her leading them to Bourne. When he figures out they're going to be meeting at a protest in Greece, he takes advantage to have the Asset kill Bourne. When Heather tries to talk Bourne into surrendering, he has the Asset murder all of Heather's agents, knowing Bourne wouldn't do it anyway. When his partner tries to blab on him, he has the Asset try to murder him and Heather. He also knew Bourne would come for him, and if it wasn't for Heather, Bourne would have been killed. Heather's plans to replace Dewey as DCI also hinge on this. When reviewing Bourne's psych profile, she finds that Bourne can be manipulated once he's reached his tipping point, which he has when Nicky's dead. From that point on she attempts to bring him in alive, even assisting him in infiltrating Dewey's hotel in Vegas, knowing that if Bourne kills Dewey, the DCI seat will be empty, and Bourne will be indebted to her. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Jason Bourne / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bourne and Nicky fail to escape the Asset's ambush in Athens because the CIA knows what route they're going to take. Badass as they are, they're still fighting the entire might of the U.S. government, and for once in the series, they actually had prep time. Bourne is noticeably slower in this film, due to his age and the injuries he's taken as an underground fighter. You know what happens when a murderous assassin such as the Asset takes control of an armoured SWAT truck? Bystanders die. Even Bourne is unable to put a stop to his driving rampage. Bourne's exposing of Blackbriar results in operatives having their cover blown, which was what happened to the Asset in the past. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Jason Bourne / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: While the police have been depicted as obstacles to Bourne in the previous movies, it was more because Bourne is a fugitive hiding from the CIA. In this movie, Bourne is able to go from Athens to Berlin, and it becomes obvious he did not fly, and he is on Interpol, so the police on all those countries dropped it. Then he is somehow able to get from Berlin to London and no one discovered his identity. While the border security in the U.S. were ordered by Lee to stand down and let him in, the guards first reaction when Bourne shoots at the Asset is to chase Bourne, even though he stopped the assassination. During the chase scene, they still primarily go after Bourne, even though the Asset is killing civilians with their own SWAT van. | |

Time Skip: Relatively speaking, as both The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Legacy were set concurrently with The Bourne Supremacy. It's less that there is a Time Skip and more that the timeline is advanced to match the present day. | |

He Knows Too Much: Dewey ordered Jason's father killed when he tried to expose Treadstone, and later tries to have Jason killed as well. Dewey tries to assassinate Aaron Kalloor after Kalloor is spooked by the theft of the Iron Hand files, and tries to go public himself before his reputation is ruined. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |

Knight of Cerebus: Dewey turns up the seriousness of the film, and while the Asset does most of the heavy lifting, he is operating under Dewey's command. The fact that Dewey is responsible for the events of the series also turns up the seriousness. The Asset himself is a far more villainous than other henchmen Bourne took down in previous films; he cold-bloodedly murders multiple civilians and even CIA officers who stand in his way to do Dewey's dirty work. | |

The Reveal: Bourne discovers the true reason why he volunteered to join Treadstone in the first place: his father was killed in a car bomb, staged as an attack by terrorists. Which leads to another reveal, that Bourne's father was the founder of Treadstone, and he was killed because he was going to shut it down. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Jason Bourne / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Bourne has a massive moment with the ball when he corners Dewey in his suite. Dewey is alone and unarmed and Bourne has to know agents are on their way. Instead of shooting Dewey, he is foolish enough to listen. If it hadn't been for Heather, he would have been killed for his decision. Dewey himself lampshades this when Bourne doesn't immediately kill him, yet Bourne still allows it to happen. After realizing that she will be killed unless she goes underground, in The Bourne Ultimatum, Nicky cut and dyed her hair to make herself harder to find. Come this installment, she has grown her hair back out and let it return to natural colors, which makes it very easy for the government to find her. And she does get killed for it. | |

Hazy-Feel Turn: At the end, Heather Lee, who had seemingly been acting like a Big Good for the CIA, makes her power play to become Director following Dewey's death. When Bourne leaves the recording device in her car, indicating he heard her statement to the Director of Intelligence that she'll kill him if she can't bring him in, it leaves it open ended as to whether she'll become a future antagonist or back off due to the threat. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Jason Bourne / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The plot points of The Bourne Legacy are not directly followed upon in this film, and most notably nothing is said about the fates of Pamela Landy, Noah Vosen, and Ezra Kramer. Granted, there's a 12 years Time Skip between the events of this film and those of Ultimatum and Legacy, meaning a lot might have happened with zero relevance regarding the 2016 film's plot. The film does note that there are additional Treadstone-inspired assassination programs that continued after Bourne exposed Blackbriar, with "Outcome" and "Larx" (post Blackbriar programs brought up in Legacy) included in the list Nicky Parsons hacks at the beginning. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Jason Bourne / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Bourne's back has two bullet wound scars, the ones he picked up in Identity, plus his chest has one from Supremacy. The lack of a fourth answers the lingering question of whether or not Vosen was able to shoot him at the end of Ultimatum. Bourne's exposure of the Blackbriar program in Ultimatum is mentioned twice and is even a plot point given that the Asset has a personal vendetta against Bourne because his cover was blown due to the latter's actions - though that's possibly a lie Dewey came up with to justify the Asset's desire to finish the job he started with Bourne's father, Richard Webb. Being roughly a decade later from the earlier films, a list shows all Treadstone-offshoot programs that had been developed, including Blackbriar from Ultimatum and Outcome and Larx from Legacy. | |

Face–Heel Turn: Bourne's psyche profile suggests he could be convinced to return to the program if he were pushed to the breaking point. Dewey isn't convinced, though he tries during the final confrontation, while Heather puts more effort into it. Dewey fails because he ordered the death of Bourne's father, and Heather fails because Bourne listened in on her conversation with Russell, which made it clear she was little better than Dewey. | |

| Jason Bourne / int_e62dfb96 | comment |
No Endor Holocaust: Although Legacy touches on it somewhat, this film shows the fallout of Bourne and Landy exposing Blackbriar. Namely, many operatives had their cover blown and were compromised, including The Asset. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Jason Bourne / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Bourne kills only when he absolutely must - more often than not he simply leaves the scene after incapacitating his pursuers. In this movie, however, he goes out of his way to hunt, chase, and kill the Asset even after the main villain is dead. Considering the Asset is responsible for the murders of his father and his friend, not to mention the deaths of multiple civilian bystanders, he has a very good reason to seek revenge on the Asset. | |

Artistic License – Cars | |
| Jason Bourne / int_eea06f9a | comment |
Artistic License – Cars - As is generally the case with a chase scene, but a pretty egregious one that makes the chase scene possible: the Bearcat 454 that the Asset is driving is built like a tank on wheels, but has nowhere near the top speed of Bourne's peppy sports car. Bourne would've been able to outspeed and outmaneuver him while still only in third gear.note A Bearcat 454 or equivalent is a heavily armored wheeled vehicle - the key element being "heavy." As a result, it has an engine built for torque, not speed, since getting that mass moving is a tough task. Vehicles of that type generally max out at about 55 to 60 MPH. Thus, about 90% of what it does on screen is so far beyond the pale of reality that it places itself solidly within the orbit of heavy artistic license. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Jason Bourne / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: DCI Robert Dewey for Ezra Kramer. It falls into Remember the New Guy? when characters seem to imply that Dewey was present and active during the events of the previous films, even though we've never heard of or seen him. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: As ambitious as Heather can be and despite how much she just wants to keep advancing, she legit believes that doing so will help "make a difference". | |
