Sex & Nudity

  • Passionate kissing is shown briefly. The woman is in a bra. No male or female nudity.
  • A large billboard poster showing a woman in a bikini in one quick shot. Fairly prominent.
  • An unconscious man lies face-down after part of his wetsuit is taken off. Very brief shot of his hip as a man incises a small scar on his hip, removing an ID chip. No nudity is shown.
  • A young woman hugs a young man multiple times while wearing a halter top.

Violence & Gore

  • Bourne shoots a gas tank, causing a large explosion, and blinding a nearby sniper. The sniper shoots at him several times, but he evades the shots, and eventually manages to shoot and wound the sniper. He shoots him again in the shoulder.
  • A body lands on the ground level, and Bourne lands on top of him and survives.
  • An apparently dead man is seen floating in the middle of the sea. A crew on a boat then pulls up his body. Two bullet wounds are visible on his back as a fisherman extracts the bullets. No blood.
  • We see a dead man on the street (after he jumped to his death - but we don't see the impact).
  • An older woman is visible murdered with a bullet hole in her forehead, and another woman vomits in shock after seeing this (implied, but not fully shown).
  • Bourne throws a few blows at men while trying to escape an embassy.
  • Bourne stabs an assassin with a pen, and the tip of the pen is covered in blood. Bourne then jabs him numerous times, stabs the pen in between his fingers, and kicks him over a desk. The man then slowly pulls the pen out on-screen.
  • Bourne takes out two cops in a park who harass him, and he knocks both out.
  • Two men engage in a brutal fight in an apartment after one of them smashes through a window firing a gun. The fight goes on for a while, and one of them draws a knife while the other grabs a pen.
  • Bourne quickly and brutally dispatches a group of men in an office and stairwell.
  • A politician graphically tells his assistant to "get that b*stard's head and put it out in front of this house to show them what kind of war we are fighting." The man is then assassinated with a shot by a sniper.
  • Bullet wounds are bloody, but very small and briefly seen.
  • A man shoots another man in a parking lot at close range.

Profanity

  • At least 1 "f" word (another is mouthed), 6 "s" words (along with what may have been several German versions spoken by Marie), 6 hells, 4 uses each of "G-damn" and "Oh God," 2 of "Jesus Christ" and 1 use each of "By God," "Christ," "For Christ's sakes," "Jesus," "Oh my God" and "Swear to God" as exclamations.
  • 5 religious profanities, 15 religious exclamations (for Christ's sake).
  • Phrases: "F*ck it," "I don't think she gives a sh*t," "Bullsh*t," "What the hell /are you doing to me/is that/have you done/are you talking about?" "Jerk," "Bastard," "Sucks," "Bloody" (adjective) and "Who the hell are you?"
  • At least four uses of "Scheiße," the German word for "sh-t."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Feeling stressed, Marie buys a flask of whiskey and takes a swig.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It is implied a dog is killed.
  • Bourne is spotted at an embassy and must find an exit and climb down the building to survive.
  • An extended car chase sequence.
  • The fight scenes are very acute with quick cuts to match the movement of Bourne.
  • Some sequences are suspenseful with an element of sustained peril. The fight scenes can be quite intense.
  • The killing and shooting scenes can be fierce.
  • An assassin stakes out a house where children are living, and the entire sequence is fairly intense.
