A long forgotten CIA agent, is drawn out of hiding to expose more frantic truth about his history. Bourne is the antihero in a series of novels and subsequent film adaptations.
Escapist fare of the fast and furious kind, Jason Bourne will likely impress diehard fans of the long-running series. Others may prefer to have the invincible spook finally put out to pasture.
Of all the indignities Damon's title character, dug out of retirement after nine years, has to suffer in the disappointing Jason Bourne, the worst is how out-of-touch the new conspiracy he unravels feels
Sure, Jason Bourne has all the hallmarks of a story - there are characters who are involved in scenes, and those scenes indicate the forward march of time - but nothing here actually matters.
Greengrass is as dexterous as ever, yet the result, though abounding in thrills, seems oddly stifled by self-consciousness and, dare one say, superfluous.
Jason Bourne is a good and entertaining action film, but it's also completely unnecessary. There's no longer many secrets left in the closet for this spy. [Full review in Spanish]
Much of Jason Bourne consists of grim action set pieces interspersed with long sequences of people sitting in front of computer screens. Somehow the movie is simultaneously frenetic and static, going nowhere really, really fast.
