After exposing the CIA’s Operation
Blackbriar, Jason Bourne has fallen off the grid. He has recovered from his
amnesia and he is earning money in illegal fighting. Former CIA employee Nicky
Parsons hacked into the agency’s system and found some information regarding
Bourne’s recruitment. She tracks him down and off he is on a new mission. CIA
Director Robert Dewey wants Bourne eliminated at all costs, but CIA cyber head Heather
Lee is not so sure that is the way to go.
This new installment in the Bourne franchise
offers more fast-paced action that takes us around the world, from Iceland, to
Germany to Vegas. It is thrilling action movie that knows its role and plays it
well.
Once again, Matt Damon inhabits his character
flawlessly. I just guess that he takes his anti-gun stance less seriously than
Jim Carrey. On a more serious note, Tommy Leee Jones was a very good choice as
CIA Director, and so was Vincent Cassel as the hired assassin. The French actor
has that bad guy look that works in that sort of role.
Overall, this is a good follow-up to the
first three movies of the franchise (did not care much for the fourth one), and
they can keep it going if they want to. They managed to keep it fresh enough,
which is not always easy when doing sequels. A bit of sappiness in the
beginning , but they recovered quite well and finished strong.
