Review of Jason Bourne (2016) by Swayamdeep S — 23 Nov 2016
Did I see Jack Reacher ?
Positives.
It was good to see Matt back as Bourne. Regardless of how damp it felt. But it is one of the few positives of the movie. He was back with his signature moves. Single handledly taking down a CIA team is not new. But brought back some memories.
Other saving grace of this movie was Timothy Lee Jones. He didnt quite play it out like David Strathairn version. But still his straight demeanor was good enough.
Negatives.
Bourne movies are not supposed to be generic. It was way too generic. First the script tries to hard to make us care about the patriotism angle . Bourne movies are subtle , but this one tries to hard. Other was the Alicia Vikander. She was watered down version of Pamela Landy. Script made no sense many times. Unnecessary car chases. I really didnt care about them because script failed me to care for the characters,.
Jesus Christ . That's Jason Bourne . Does not give me goosebumps anymore.
