The Bourne movies *are* nothing more than just running, driving, and spying on people. Now that I stop and think about it, it's hard to see how I could have missed that. Perhaps I was too busy watching the movie to realise that it really is just those three small components. Thank you for rescuing me from another of these banal, mundane experiences. And FYI - yes, the three movies were based on a pre-existing series of books, but in name only. The first movie had some superficial premise similarities, the other two had no similarity *at all*. These movies were, in effect, completely made up. Good to see solid research behind those opinions. Perhaps you might want to consider reading the book *and* watching the movie next time.

This fourth film wouldn't even use that story? There were one or two additional books written and released around the time of the second or third film by some other author.
