Review of Jason Bourne (2016) by Moviemitch96 — 28 Jul 2016

Matt Damon gives a welcome return in one of his most famous roles. However, as entertaining and action-packed as the film was, I can honestly say that I think this was probably the weakest of his Bourne films (it still beats Jeremy Renner's Bourne Legacy.

) This offered some more great fight sequences, however, the noticeably choppy editing and camerawork made it hard to really enjoy at times. I also found the final chase sequence to be rather dumbed down and destruction-heavy, as I enjoyed and appreciated the intelligence and restraint of the chase sequences from the previous 3 Damon films.

As for the story, it kinda felt like more of the same. Bourne tries to run from the CIA and has to find out why they're after him (again.) Overall, Matt Damon does a fine job doing what he does best, but it isn't his fault that the story's repetitive feel and the all-over-the-place editing and cinematography weighed it down.

It was still fun at times but left me feeling underwhelmed and slightly disappointed that it wasn't a lot better, especially after the nine years since Ultimatum.
