There's no plot holes and I don't think you should really compare the linear, fast paced and absorbing plot lines of the Bourne franchise to the ridiculously convulted and OTT plot lines of Bond, which are just stiched on in any casy as an excuse for large scale action set pieces. Bourne is a product of our era, with themes running through it like alienation, terrorism, mind control and manipulation of state. More prevalent to our times then Bond who never speaks on such lofty subjects.... capitalism and some wild eyed meglomaniac are all that you see in his films really.... and they're always evil foreigners. It's pure escapism.
