Review of Jason Bourne (2016) by Compi24 — 30 Jul 2016
After almost a decade since their last outing in the "Bourne" franchise, Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass return to show us how these films are truly done. . .kinda. No, "Jason Bourne" is by no means a bad film.
In fact, it's just the opposite. Greengrass, Damon and co. have crafted yet another entertaining spy film with slick action, beautiful cinematography, and two great additions to the cast in the form of both Alicia Vikander and Tommy Lee Jones.
The difference between "Jason Bourne" and its three Matt-Damon-led predecessors though, is one very obvious thing - the script. Indeed, without franchise screenwriting alum Tony Gilroy behind the script, the film loses steam and instead gains clunky dialogue and an unfortunate knack for forgetting about the title character in lieu of an overly "with-the-times" subplot involving a social media website.
Don't get me wrong though, "Jason Bourne" is still well-worth the price admission. It just doesn't quite live up to the lofty heights of its predecessors.
