20 Most Epic Movie Moments Of 2016
16. The Athens Chase - Jason Bourne
Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is hiding out in Athens when his old pal Nicky (Julia Stiles) finds him, with information relating to his past, all while a riot takes place in the city streets.
They're soon enough attacked by the asset (Vincent Cassel), who gives chase through Athens in a car while Bourne and Nicky flee on a motorcycle.
When the asset's car is disabled, he climbs a nearby roof and takes aim with a sniper rifle, causing Bourne to crash and seriously injuring Nicky. Bourne is then helpless to save her as the asset eliminates her with a single shot, but not before she can throw a USB stick Bourne's way.
The new Bourne movie may have been a tad underwhelming, but this sequence was terrifically executed, with Paul Greengrass' typically immersive direction evoking all the chaos you would expect.
