The violence in the original trilogy was always complicated.

It didn't need any of these plot/character contrivances to be impactful. The asset has his orders and Bourne must defend himself, and someone has to die, that's just the way the world works. The original trilogy captured that impersonal sadness and futility of the whole situation whenever Bourne encounters an 'asset' and is forced to kill him. The relationships between people in a bureaucracy, between operatives in the field etc. So, it's just coincidence that the guy who's chasing Bourne in the present was also the guy who killed his father and he has a reason to be pissed at Bourne now, making it a personal vendetta? There's something about the first 3 movies that was so believable and made you forget in the moment that one guy taking the CIA apart by himself is actually completely ludicrous. I think the problem with this movie is that it felt too much like a movie, like it was exploiting known movie tropes for manufactured drama.
