There are car chases and a motor bike pursuit. Bourne moves from Athens to Berlin and then to London and Las Vegas. The CIA are at odds internally and the Asset works independently for Dewey, the head of the CIA while Heather Lee, the head of cyber ops begins to sympathise with Bourne, so much time spent in darkened rooms equipped with screens showing the movements of the quarry. No sex, nudity, drinking or drug taking.

A View Well, this movie was well panned by many of the critics although overall they were fairly evenly divided. I am a fan of the franchise and I still liked it, and there is no doubt that Paul Greengrass is a master of the action sequence. If anything the car chases were a bit too long. Definitely a watch for nothing or a small fee.
