After about ten years since Matt Damon's Bourne went into hiding in The Bourne Ultimatum he returns even more buff and with more memory intact in the weirdly titled Jason Bourne.
The film starts with Bourne living on the edge taking part in illegal fights. His old pal Nicky Parsons played by Julia Stiles is still on the run from the CIA and has been hacking them to get information on all the Black Ops programs including the one Bourne started in.
They are pursued by CIA boss Robert Dewey played by Tommy Lee Jones and his expert on hacking and cyber terrorism Heather Lee played by Alicia Vikander. Also is The Asset played by Vincent Cassell who has connections to Bournes past and a deadly rival.
The film is excellent entertainment and brings Bourne back into the modern espionage world and world of technology.
Although it is a Bourne film with all the traits that are present in the past Bourne films.
Realistic fight scenes - check. With a household object as a weapon.
Car chase with realistic crashes - check.
Bourne remembering more - check.
It felt like a best of compilation which is no bad thing although if there is another sequel they need to change it to make it fresh.
I think Bond (the serious films of Connery, Lazenby, Dalton and a couple of Daniel Craig's ) are better as they have in the most part more story and more complex but Bourne is good.
Overall - A best of Bourne and the best of the films since Supremacy. Great acting and action scenes.
Score 9/10
