For fans of the series however, it will be enough to warrant a watch. However, much of what comes before feels too familiar and at times stale. With a wild car chase involving a Dodge Charger and a SWAT vehicle, Greengrass creates a thrilling finale.

The best of which comes near the end during the final showdown. Still, even when JASON BOURNE falls into a predictable rut, it’s a well designed action thriller that manages to offer a few tense moments. Which is unfortunate because it fails to really build as much suspense as you’d want from a spy thriller. And of course, you’ll find a handful of narrow escapes while Dewey and his team attempt to track their target. Then there is the dangerous and corrupt man-in-charge. You have the sympathetic character who questions whether Bourne is really the problem. With each film we – as well as Jason himself – learn more about who he is and why he was chosen. It this sounds like what you’d expect from a Jason Bourne movie, you aren’t wrong.įor the first hour and change, JASON BOURNE offers a decent, yet repetitive action story. It all leads to an intense climax with one hell of an awesome car chase. CIA Director Robert Dewey (Jones) puts pressure on his associate Heather Lee (Vikander) as well as assassin Asset (Cassel) to catch him. The closer Bourne gets to revealing the secrets of his past the more danger he finds himself in. All of this courtesy of a genius computer software designer named Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed).

And when his cohort Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) discovers information on Jason and his father, she also discovers work on a powerful system that will keep the government’s eye on everyone with a computer or cellphone. JASON BOURNE continues to evade the CIA after the events in THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM. Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander and Vincent Cassel round out the impressive cast, with Vikander standing in for Joan Allen, and Jones and Cassel taking on the prospective villain roles. Once again directed by Paul Greengrass, this is a series of chases, close calls and mysteries revealed, and it all feels too familiar even with a few fresh faces. And much like the previous Bourne flicks, Matt Damon owns the role whether he is on the run, or beating the crap out of those ready to shut him down. JASON BOURNE is back and while he is now aware of who he is, there are still questions about how he became part of this dangerous organization. Now, he must discover a few more secrets from his past, as well as stop a dangerous operation that would affect the entire world. PLOT: Jason Bourne is finally aware of his identity.
