Protagonist
Ross Grove vs Jason Bourne
Jason Bourne is a fictional character and the protagonist from the Bourne film series, which
plays a very similar character to Ross Grove in our opening two minutes.
He is a secret agent that which we actually don’t find out in
the opening two minutes, who tackles terrorism with a fast trigger finger and a

and it is clear to see that they are very different characters, but there are
some distinct similarities. Ross Grove represents this type of character as a
tough, quick-witted, skilled fighter. In the opening he doesn't show much of
his emotional side, so in this way Grove presents this type of role as very
down to earth and almost like a robot. The action shots below, show how simliar both characters are, Bourne represents the 'lone cop' role really well because he
