Just is time for Jason Bourne to make his return in, uh, Jason Bourne, Screen Junkies has released a new Honest Trailer for the original Bourne Trilogy.

(Wait, weren't there four of these? Didn't one of them star Hawkeye? Well, whatever…)

The Honest Trailer covers each of Matt Damon's previous outings as the amnesiac super-spy Jason Bourne – The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum. It's a trilogy full of motion sickness inducing action, car chases, angry old men, and lots and lots of turtlenecks. It's also the trilogy that turned that baby-faced kid from Good Will Hunting into a genuine action star, even if it was the same plot repeated three times over. Seriously, how many shadowy puppet masters does one action movie franchise need? Quite a few, as it turns out.

In Jason Bourne, it's been 10 years since Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) walked away from the agency that trained him to become a deadly weapon. Hoping to draw him out of the shadows, CIA director Robert Dewey assigns hacker and counterinsurgency expert Heather Lee to find him. Lee suspects that former operative Nicky Parsons is also looking for him. As she begins tracking the duo, Bourne finds himself back in action battling a sinister network that utilizes terror and technology to maintain unchecked power.

Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum) returns to direct Jason Bourne. The film stars Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel, Julia Stiles, and Riz Ahmed.

Jason Bourne opens today in theaters nationwide.
