    Jason Bourne

    Reviewed by

    Director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon reunite after 9 years for another Bourne film which has me teetering on some merits and many non-merits. Damon plays a passive action hero who finds himself stalled on the career ladder unable to advance or quit his position. This amnesiac assassin feels too much like his former self, no change... The thrill of director Greengrass's original daring, exciting filming seems to have gone the way of the wind. I think the choice of this director was a prime mistake. His attempts simply do not work well in'Jason Bourne' as I craved something more original and he wasn't able to deliver. The film gets it right as to the external threats and invocations of the tension between security and privacy in the digital age along with passing notes on other contemporary realities. What is essentially a story about human resource challenges in a large bureaucratic system are scaffolded with geopolitical and technological 'stuff and matter'. I always like Matt Damon even here playing the same part as in previous films; one must admit that at 45, the man still has a young man's glint in his eye. Of noteworthy praise in 'Jason Bourne' is the role of Oscar Winner Alicia Vikander who again makes a bold impact as in her 2015 films 'Ex Machina' and 'The Danish Girl'. She's the real deal. I truly can't rate this film highly despite some of the good things. It's just too much like viewing a sort of re-run of the previous films.
