Jason Bourne Film Review


Finished watching Jason Bourne directed by Paul Greengrass, and staring Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, Alicia Vikander, Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel and Riz Ahmed. The film opens with Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) who has been keeping a very low profile by traveling around the world with money he wins from fighting rings. Meanwhile in Iceland one of Bourne's old friends Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) hacks into the CIA which is quickly noticed by the head of the CIA's Cyber Ops Division Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) who tells her boss Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones). The CIA then attempt to get Nicky and Bourne when they meet in Greece with the help of an Asset (Vincent Cassel) but when they fail to capture Bourne in Greece the CIA track Bourne around the world to try and capture him. Overall this was a good action film as the fight choreography is fast paced and easy to follow. While the vehicle chase scenes throughout the film are shot at some great angles and capture the very tense moments really well. The secondary storyline centring  around Robert Dewey meeting with social network entrepreneur Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed) feels liked it was added to get Dewey and Bourne into the same scene together and due to this part of the film starting about halfway through makes it feel out of place until it links up to date the rest of the film. 7/10.
