MORGAN'S RATING |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| When a Chinese vice-premier is executed by notorious assassin Jason Bourne, it causes serious trouble and hubbub in the CIA. Why? There is no "Jason Bourne", as that name is just a cover for CIA agent David Webb, so it appears that someone has taken the "Bourne identity" away from him, creating a diplomatic crisis between the U.S. and China. It's up to the real "Bourne" to find out who's behind this ruse, and hopefully return peace to the two nations before they go to war over it, while also protecting his girlfriend, Maria Kreutz, whose life is threatened by this latest imbrogilo. |
