Matt Damon is
back! Jason Bourne is back! Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne! Life is good!
Hip Hip Hooray!
The last Bourne
film was four years ago and starred Jeremy Renner in The Bourne Legacy. There’s nothing wrong with Renner. It’s just
that Damon owns the Jason Bourne character.
It’s that stoic,
stern look, that I-gotta-get-there stride, that deadly fighting style and that
undeniable likeability and charisma. And, more importantly, there’s Bourne –
the man of very few words! Very few
words!
On July 29, the
iconic Jason Bourne, the CIA’s most lethal former operative, returns with lots
of action and intrigue.
First there was
2002’s The Bourne Identity, then came
2004’s The Bourne Supremacy and then
2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum. There was also 2012’s The Bourne Legacy (which did NOT star Damon). Now we have Jason Bourne.
With any Bourne
film you know exactly what you’re going to get. They are going to come close to
cornering him – but to no avail. There
are enormous and exciting fight scenes and heart-pounding car chases.
This movie
doesn’t disappoint! It’s the perfect
summer flick – full of fireworks.
This time around
Bourne finds out who killed his father and why!
It’s an eye-opening scenario that puts Bourne on his heels.
Who can he
trust? Should he go back in?
If you know
Jason Bourne, you know he trust no one – and for good reason.
Although it’s
been 14 years since the character first became a fan favorite, Jason Bourne
hasn’t missed a stride – and neither has Matt Damon.
It's
been 10 years since Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) walked away from the agency that
trained him to become a deadly weapon. And he is still as badass as ever.
In
an effort to draw Bourne into the open, CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee
Jones) assigns hacker and counterinsurgency expert Heather Lee (Alicia
Vikander) to find him. Lee suspects that former operative Nicky Parsons (Julia
Stiles) is also looking for him. Lee uses the scariest cyber tactics in which
to find Bourne. It proves that Big Brother is watching and knows a bit too much
about your daily moves. And, she’s right. Nicky has some important information
for Bourne that will give him the answers he’s been looking for. Bourne and
Nicky learn that Dewey is
secretly developing his own shadow government with the help of tech guru. The
results, of which, could be catastrophic. As Lee
begins tracking the duo, Bourne finds himself back in action battling some of
the very people that made him who he is today.
In
his attempt to save the world, Bourne,
once again, makes his way around the world as he systematically tries to figure
out what is going on. There’s Athens, Berlin, London and, of course, ending up
in the states, notably Vegas where he has a spectacular car chase on the strip.
While Bourne is in the midst of doing his part for humanity, he is being
targeted by an assassin known only as the Asset, played aptly by Vincent
Cassel.
To
be honest, there isn’t anything new in the film. There isn’t anything we
haven’t seen in the previous efforts.
This is classic Bourne. He’s back and ready to safeguard the brand.
Jason Bourne stars Matt
Damon, Alicia Vikander,
Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones. It is
directed by Paul Greengrass (The
Bourne Series, Captain Philips) and produced by Matt Damon, Gregory Goodman
(X-Men: First Class, Captain Phillips, 8
Mile), Paul Greengrass, Frank Marshall (Back
to the Future, The Sixth Sense, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It’s
written by Matt Damon, Paul Greengrass, Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity), Christopher Rouse (The Bourne Series, The
Italian Job).
JASON BOURNE: RATED PG-13 for intense sequences of violence
and action, and brief strong language
On the DONLOE
SCALE: D (don’t bother), O (oh, no), N (need work), L (likeable), O (oh, yeah),
E (excellent), JASON BOURNE gets an O
(oh, yeah)
