ACTION FILMS

Action film is a film genre where one or more heroes undergoes a series of challenges that require physical feats, extended Rights and frenetic chases. They occasionally have a resourceful charcater struggling against incredible odds such as, life-threatening situations, an evil villain, and/or being chased in several ways of transportation (car, bus, truck, etc), with victory achieved at the end after difficult physical efforts and violence.

While action films have traditionally been a reliable source of revenue for movie studios, relatively few action films obtain critical praise. Although action films have traditionally been aimed at male audiences from the early teens to the mid-30s, many action filmmakers from the 1990s and 2000s added female heroines in response to the expanding social conceptions of gender, glorifying the strong female archetype.

THE JASON BOURNE SERIES


The Jason Bourne spy film series is loosely based on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name. It stars Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, an amnesiac attempting to discover his true identity amidst a clandestine conspiracy within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This is the story of a man whose wounded body is discovered by fishermen who nurse him back to health. He can remember nothing and begins to try to rebuild his memory based on clues such as the Swiss bank account, the number of which, is implanted in his hip. He soon realizes that he is being hunted and search to find out who he is and why he is being hunted.
This film is the first in the Bourne film series, being followed by The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). The fourth movie, The Bourne Legacy, is scheduled for release in July 2012.
The character has been in eight sequel novels (the last six of which are written by Eric Van Lustbader) with another novel due to be released in 2012.
