Jason Bourne

Matt Damon returns as the title character, along with Paul Greengrass as director, in the fifth Bourne film, simply titled Jason Bourne. Set a decade after The Bourne Ultimatum, Bourne is in hiding from the CIA as an old ally gets him interested in a new operation set up by the agency led by the man who recruited him. Even without saying a lot, Damon once again proves why he was the perfect choice to play Bourne as he captures the character's intensity and depth especially when he learns the truth of what caused him to enlist, though in the flashbacks Damon doesn't show a lot. Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, and Vincent Cassel join the cast in very memorable roles that help keep the movie going forward. Even though the film has great acting, good fight scenes and stunts, and an ending that's surprising, for the most part the film doesn't really offer anything that new when compared to the rest of the films, even Legacy which I liked a lot, and mostly retreads things that the others have done. Over all: 90%
