Since the individuals taking part would be reduced by a ratio of 2744:1, which we learn makes them 0.364% of his original size (although […]

I loved the first movie, The Bourne Identity, directed by Doug Liman, but then felt that Paul Greengrass made such a bog-standard pedestrian hash of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.
