True patriots out there may have been put off big-screen action blockbusters The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and indeed the forthcoming Bourne Ultimatum, by the way that Universal Pictures marketed them as part of a brand new spy thriller franchise starring 'The American James Bond'... as if such a thing were either desirable or possible. There are undeniable similarities between the two, of course: both are action-packed movie franchises based on a series of books created by one author, which were successful enough to be continued after the creators' deaths, and both star renegade secret operatives who travel around the globe taking on different personas, investigating conspiracies and fighting shady organisations who threaten to destroy, take over or just piss about generally with, the world.
