– By Cate Marquis –
Matt Damon re-teams with director Paul Greengrass to revitalize the Bourne franchise with JASON BOURNE. Damon starred as amnesiac ex-CIA assassin Jason Bourne in the first three films and Greengrass directed the second and third films, but both skipped the fourth one. For this fifth film, director Greengrass adds little touches to bring back some flavor of Doug Liman’s original THE BOURNE IDENTITY, starting (and finishing) with some of the music and including some signature chases down narrow streets, but the film then adds a real-world touch with a story built around government surveillance and hackers exposing them. It is fun but standard action film stuff, but it is an improvement on the last Bourne film, and should satisfy fans eager to see Damon back as Bourne.
