Review of Jason Bourne (2016) by Quietgiant — 30 Jul 2016
Had higher hopes for a Damon and Greengrass reunion. Feels like one retread of the same formula too many. Bourne is found, needs to uncover something, run from CIA white collars in a computer lab, face off with a rival agent, car chase, fist fight, confront the shot caller in the suit, disappear, been there, done that.
Can't they get any more creative with the premise? At least Legacy tried branching out a little. My biggest disappointment is the return of the overdone shakycam. Ffs, even the text you're supposed to be reading is all but illegible it's so bad.
Anyway, the action is alright (Damon's age may be catching up with him), but to its credit the climactic car chase is pretty damn awesome. Altogether uninspired, though.
