The Moscow pursuit sequence is without a doubt the major action set piece of the film, if not amongst the best action sequences in the entire Bourne franchise.

Carter (2022)
The are several aspects of Carter (2022) that make it stand out from other entries in contemporary action cinema.
Dr. No (1962)
As the first installment on the James Bond franchise, Dr. No (1962) set the narrative template for the films that followed. One convention that the film lays down is a final act set piece in which Bond foils the plans of the antagonist through a set of actions that normally involves the explosion of their facility.
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
The Operation Honeymoon sequence in The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) is similar to other final act action sequences during this period in terms of length, multiple plotlines, and multi-character construction.
Nobody (2021)
One of the ways that action films make themselves distinctive is by defamiliarizing the genres on which they are based through unique genre combinations. Nobody (2021) does so by combining elements from the espionage film with that of the gangster movie, a sub-genre of the crime film. This combination assumes its primary shape through the film’s protagonist-antagonist structure.
Thunderball (1965)
The underwater battle sequence is the action highlight of the film and is a significant set-piece within the James Bond franchise as well.
