In 2002, the genre of espionage movies was in a shaky spot. With the James Bond series in serious danger of becoming a parody like Austin Powers and the much hyped Vin Diesel vehicle XXX failing to leave any lasting impression on the cinematic punters, it was the Bourne series – that came from out of nowhere – and for me at least, was the most important action series of the decade.
Thick in plot, production and style, it was a breath of fresh air compared to it’s CGI obsessed counterparts.

You could easily have been forgiven for thinking that the Bourne series was well over and done with. After a hard-hitting original trilogy that seemed to tie up the question of the resourceful spy's identity, a fourth legacy film landed with a damp thud and accusations of diluting the brand.
But then Matt Damon decided he wasn't quite done yet and now it feels like the fifth film may have opened up further story possibilities for even more sequels. Maybe we'll even get to see Damon and Renner sparring side by side?
No.
Generic action flick is generic.
I wouldn't say that it revolutionized fight choreography of chase scenes either. While it had good ones, other films had paved the way for a change in those things in film.

Refreshing is probably the best word for it, actually. It didn't do anything new, but at the time it came out, was definitely a breath of fresh air.
