  The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Jason Bourne: If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.
Matt Damon is once again the inevitable, irreplaceable Bourne, the deadliest of fantasy CIA agents, this time taking on the entire agency in search of his identity, his past, and the mysterious agency program that has turned him into a killing machine.
And, there is Julia Stiles as the agent once again coming to Bourne's aid; a combination of Greengrass' direction and Stiles acting results in a surprising impact by a mostly silent character, her lack of communication and blank expression more intriguing than miles of dialogue.

Jason Bourne is known and feared in the deadly world of covert-ops as one of the most highly skilled assassins for hire.
Bourne, however, was merely an identity assumed by CIA agent David Webb, a personality implanted by the CIA to facilitate a dangerous operation, but one that threatened to subsume David Webb entirely.

Jason bourne is condictioned to fight through pain and to be one of the most efficient killing machines on earth he takes out two and three armed guys like clockwork.
Bourne would be hurt bad, but after a good 5 minute fight I say Bourne would do something like fake a jab,kick Cap in the nuts,grab his sheild, hit him in the head repeatedly til Cap is down, and then step on his neck.
Cap is very good at fighting,but Jason Bourne brings a different kind of fight to the game.He fights physiologically and physcologically all at the same time and he is d#mn good at both.

 SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: THE BOURNE SUPREMACY
It's been two years since Jason Bourne (MATT DAMON) was pulled from the sea with two bullet holes in his back and a case of amnesia, only to eventually discover that he was a covert government operative trained to assassinate others.
Jason seems ready to shoot Pam with his sniper rifle (we see the scope POV with the crosshairs on her and his finger on the trigger), but in the end he's just using it to get a view of her as he talks to her on the phone.
Jason breaks a gas line that eventually explodes, blowing up a house and knocking three guys (who were approaching it) backwards and through the air (we don't know their condition).

 TheMovieBoy Review - Bourne Supremacy, The (2004)
Based on the second novel in the series by Robert Ludlum, "The Bourne Supremacy" approaches matters in a similar, consistent fashion, but with one ill-advised difference—whereas amnesiac protagonist Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) had consoling companion Marie (Franka Potente) to talk to and connect with in the original, here he is almost entirely on his own.
As Jason Bourne's journey to clear his name takes him from India to Germany to Russia (an excuse for some impressive location shooting), twists and double-crosses mount in a plot that is notably more intricate this time around, but still strenuously by-the-numbers.
Everything is so excessively dark in Jason Bourne's life, and there is no release to his misery in the form of a sorely lacking confidante or even a light at the end of the tunnel.

 The Bourne Supremacy Movie Review at Hollywood Video
As Bourne closes in on his adversaries, he also exposes a covert alliance between certain CIA officials and Russian criminals that the filmmakers reveal judiciously, without resorting to unwieldy exposition; they deserve additional kudos for keeping the narrative red herrings to an absolute minimum in their tightly constructed screenplay.
The second of Robert Ludlam's three Jason Bourne novels to reach the screen, The Bourne Supremacy is an entertaining spy thriller thankfully free of the campy, tongue-in-cheek excesses of the recent James Bond films.
Bourne is the anti-Bond: the latter uses gadgetry galore, has women at every turn, and kills without remorse.

 ‘Bourne’ doesn't live up to expectations - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
Easily the least convincing aspect of “The Bourne Identity” was the romantic happy ending, with former CIA agent Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) and his lover Marie (Franka Potente) escaping the spy world by retreating to a Mediterranean beach.
There’s nothing here to match their touchingly awkward love scene in the first film, or Jason’s frustrated attempts to figure out who he is and what kind of danger he’s in.
The new “Bourne” is not much more plausible than the first one, but the faulty story logic calls attention to itself because the characters no longer matter.

 14850 Cinema: Paging Jason Bourne...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Having roughed up a couple of local cops who harassed him for sleeping on a park bench the night before, Bourne dodges into the convenient American embassy to escape some of their colleagues who spot him after he leaves the bank.
The embassy jaunt provides a catalyst in two ways: it clues Bourne's boss and coworkers back at Langley into the inconvenient fact that he's still alive, and links him up with Marie (Franka Potente), who's been denied a visa to visit the US and has run out of money.
Damon himself does a fine job of expressing some of his character's frustration at not knowing who or what he is, balanced with Bourne's uncanny ability to be self-possessed when the need arises to escape a tight spot.
