A former assassin unearths buried memories, relentlessly pursued by a shadowy organization determined to silence him.
Suspenseful. A full-attention watch at full speed. Emotionally it is heavy.
Heads up on brutal violence. That is past what the PG-13 on the box suggests. Beyond that, no sex or nudity and some strong language.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Bourne is brought out of hiding once again by reporter Simon Ross who is trying to unveil Operation Blackbriar, an upgrade to Project Treadstone, in a series of newspaper columns. Information from the reporter stirs a new set of memories, and Bourne must finally uncover his dark past while dodging The Company's best efforts to eradicate him.
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
