Beacause of his role is Kirill, a Russian secret service and Russian FSB agent. When he is in Russia, He can speak and yell in Russian
After laying low for two years with girlfriend Marie Kreutz (Franka Potente) in the small seaside village of Goa, India and attempting to piece together his memory from flashbacks in his dreams, ex-Treadstone operative Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is forced to go on the run again when he is targeted for death by Russian assassin Kirill (Karl Urban). At the same time, in Berlin, CIA Deputy Director Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) and CIA Chief Ward Abbott (Brian Cox) also set out to bring him in ...hopefully alive.
The Bourne Supremacy is a 1986 novel by American author Robert Ludlum. It was adapted for the screen by screenwriter Tony Gilroy. The Bourne Supremacy is a sequel to The Bourne Identity (2002) and is followed by The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), The Bourne Legacy (2012) and Jason Bourne (2016). There was also a short-lived TV series The Bourne Identity (1988).
Landy was investigating the theft of $20 million from the CIA that happened seven years before. She had learned that the CIA agent who stole the money was named by Russian journalist/politician Vladimir Neski in the "Neski Files," and Neski himself was probably assassinated over this, so she wanted to get her hands on the files. She offered $3 million for them and sent an agent to complete the exchange in an office building in Berlin. During the exchange, an assassin planted Bourne's fingerprint on a bomb in the building's basement, killing the agent and the source, along with stealing the files and the $3 million. Consequently, Landy switched her investigation to Jason Bourne.
Abbott and Russian oil millionaire Gretkov (Karel Roden) conspired to make money out of Russian oil by buying "drilling rights" in the Caspian Sea using the CIA's $20 million that went missing (actually stolen by Abbott). Neski was in the way by opposing the privatization of oil and was about to reveal the identity of the thief, so Abbott called in newly-trained Bourne to kill him. Mrs Neski was simply in the way. This was Bourne's first hit.
In an earlier scene, when Bourne was talking to Landy on her cellphone, he tells her that he wants Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles), who is standing next to Landy, to meet him in the Alexanderplatz and that Landy should give her cellphone to Nicky. When Bourne calls Nicky, he is calling her on Landy's cell.
Those who have both seen the movie and read the book say that the two stories are very different. In the book, David Webb is forced back into the violent cloak and dagger world of Jason Bourne when Marie is kidnapped, and he soon finds himself knee-deep in a CIA conspiracy that also involves a mysterious assassin who has carried out a number of kills using his name. Although it follows the book's basic storyline, the film makes some major changes in the details, in particular, the locations (China versus Europe) and Marie's fate.The story in the book has nothing much to do with Treadstone except some flashback scenes and references to it. More information about the novel can be obtained here.
Of course, see The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Ultimatum, the other two movies in the initial Bourne trilogy. The later sequels are The Bourne Legacy and Jason Bourne-Bourne being missing from the former. For other movies that feature special agents facing deadly complications, try xXx (2002) (2002), in which an athlete is recruited by the government to infiltrate an underground Russian crime ring. In The Transporter (2002) (2002) , an ex-special forces operator, now working as a goods transporter who asks no questions, breaks the rules and peeks at his latest cargo. There's Three Days of the Condor (1975) (1975), in which a CIA researcher must outwit hit men bent on killing him. In The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) (1996), lost memories of herself as a top-secret agent begin to surface in an ordinary housewife. In Bullitt (1968) (1968), a cop searches for the killers of a witness that he was supposed to be protecting. Two cops attempt to intercept a big heroin shipment coming from France in The French Connection (1971) (1971). Also recommended by those who have seen The Bourne Identity are the Jackal movies-The Day of the Jackal (1973) (1973) and The Jackal (1997) (1997)-in which a professional assassin codenamed "Jackal" is sent on secret missions. Also consider the Ocean movies-Ocean's Eleven (2001) (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004) (2004), and Ocean's Thirteen (2007) (2007)-in which Danny Ocean and his team of gangsters attempt to pull off major heists, and any of the James Bond films. Finally, you can check out Taken (2008) (2009), another thriller which involves an ex-CIA operative tracking down his daughter's kidnappers in Europe.
