Cinematic Spies
Jason Bourne – After being fished out of the Mediterranean with no memory of who he is or where he comes from, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) soon discovers that he is a secret agent of some renown. Brainwashed and expertly trained in driving, combat, and killing, Bourne now just wants to be left alone. Unfortunately for him, his CIA handlers don’t want to give up such a valuable asset so easily. Bourne’s successor, Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), is the focus of “The Bourne Legacy.”
