123 minutes, Action
In 2002, when we first met Jason Bourne, he was a man that possessed impressive, highly-trained fighting skills but with no idea where or how he got them. Fast-forward 14 years, Jason Bourne is no longer trying to piece together a fragmented memory while on the run. In fact, he remembers who he is and how he got here just fine! Rather, it is Bourne who is doing the hunting in this addition to the original Bourne Trilogy, starring Matt Damon. When Jason acquires knowledge of some secret information concerning his past, he comes out of hiding to seek the truth.
A great cast, strong acting, a hectic screenplay and fast pacing ensure that JASON BOURNE is a highly enjoyable and entertaining action movie. Although there isn’t a great deal of originality surfacing from the screenplay, there is a heck of a lot happening that demands your attention as separate missions, all over the globe involving several characters, quickly establish themselves. A sturdy job has been done of pinning each of these connections together, which are of course the catalyst for the many action sequences that take place. With Paul Greengrass back in the Director’s chair (without him, there would be no Matt Damon!), you can expect his trademark handheld camera work to be the style JASON BOURNE is mostly shot. While it is prone to making things difficult to distinguish throughout action sequences and will arguably irk some viewers, the cinematography is strongly immersive and adds an intimacy and immediacy, at different stages to the picture. After two hours, it’s fair to say there is not a moment of dullness throughout one of the better films of its variety I’ve seen in a while.
