Jason Bourne (2016)

Directed by: Paul Greengrass

Written by: Paul Greengrass, Christopher Rouse, & Robert Ludlum (characters)

Starring: Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, & Alicia Vikander








So before I begin this review, please note that this is the only Bourne film I’ve ever seen.

After being contacted by Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) and told that his father was involved in putting him in this program, Jason Bourne (Damon) wants answers.  He starts following the clues she left him.  Meanwhile, the government thinks that Bourne is after them and wants to destroy the project all together.  They intend on stopping and killing him before he has a chance to do so.  As Bourne continues investigating, he finds that the government is planning on investing in a new technology that will enable them to watch everyone in the world from their phone, computer, etc…

I didn’t think this was relatively creative, mostly due to Now You See Me 2, which basically has the same concept.  Well at least for the technology watching thing. 

The action was good and I was interested to see what would happen to Alicia Vikander’s character, because I really like Alicia Vikander. 

It did seem a little slow in some places, but I really enjoyed the ending.  Low 4, high 3.  But because it has Alicia Vikander…4 popcorns.
