Watch the Evolution of Fight Choreography in the Jason Bourne Films
Bourne always wins.
Out of all the espionage movies in existence, Jason Bourne may possibly be one of the most notable fictional spies — besides James Bond of course. Based on the original character by Robert Ludlum, the screen-adapted Bourne films have pushed the limit on the speed and pace a viewer can handle in action films. Many movies have since attempted to emulate the style of Paul Greengrass, a few examples include Taken, and Fast and the Furious, however the quickly cut shaky shots have become a crutch for the action genre. Take a look at the video essay by Kevin B. Lee, which dissects the style of fight choreography from each Bourne movie, and let us know if the newest installment was able to live up to the action of its predecessors.
