In the 2000s, action cinema was completely transformed by a series of films: Jason Bourne. Based on the novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum, Doug Liman brought The Bourne Identity to the cinema in 2002. The sequel The Bourne Supremacy, directed by Paul Greengrass, followed two years later.

Similar to Greengrass, director Marc Forster resorted to images that catapult us directly into the action and every movement through one Camera shake to let feel.
