Jason Bourne (2016), directed by Paul Greengrass, marks the return of the titular character after a nine-year hiatus from the big screen. This paper explores the film as a continuation of the post-9/11 espionage thriller genre.

While the film successfully delivers high-octane action, it is critically examined for its reliance on formulaic tropes that arguably render it less impactful than its predecessors.
