  • Bourne's thick brown sweater is the clearest dated wardrobe detail.
  • The Swiss bank's willingness to admit a visibly injured man without stronger identification is questioned.
  • Bourne exploits American-embassy jurisdiction and receives too little scrutiny before staff react.
  • The ending may be overly tidy, although both participants still like Marie's Greek scooter shop and the red-bag callback.
  • The crisis-suite surveillance feels near the edge of obsolescence because the footage is delayed rather than live.
  • Modern tracking would likely replace the laborious search for reflections and old alley footage.
