Matt Damon isn't even thinking about a new Jason Bourne movie right now.

For now, the Bourne phenomenon still has legs. How long this ride will last – The Bourne Senescence? – depends less on quality than box office.

While it’s happening, Jason Bourne grabs you and takes you for a ride – as the series has done three times before. The genius of Greengrass’s work is that a lot of these quibbles are likely to only occur after you’ve seen the movie. (One can’t help but wonder about people trained to work “in the shadows” who call attention to themselves more spectacularly than most terrorists). He’s got cold feet, and is about to expose the agency in public – which is the impetus for an in-plain-sight assassination attempt (by awesome assassin Vincent Cassel) and the subsequent joyride-of-massive-destruction. Old CIA and new CIA are represented in the overtly-sinister CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) who simply wants Bourne dead, and the up-and-coming head of data security Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), who thinks he can be reabsorbed into the agency where he belongs.Īnd then there’s Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed), a Steve Jobs-esque tech guru whose business has been backed by the CIA in exchange for a promise to give them the capability to watch and listen to anybody anywhere (wait, the CIA can’t already DO that?). Take away those orgiastic over-the-top scenes, and Jason Bourne still has a serviceable plot (and sets up a new character direction for a sequel). It also provides a plot device for the fugitive Bourne to discover the “classified” truth about his father’s death and how he actually ended up in the CIA.Īnd the closing car-versus-police-SWAT truck chase in Las Vegas, which destroys cars and property worth enough to feed a Third World country, actually takes place when the plot of the movie is all but resolved. It serves only to set up an adrenaline-pumping car-motorcycle chase amid a riot in Athens. The opening “data dump,” which is described as “bigger than Snowden” is not even the central plot-point. It’s only later that you realize the extent to which the action papers over flimsy parts of the plot, or is simply a gratuitous gift to the fans. He takes a warmed-over plot about a Snowden-esque “data dump” and a CIA-compromised Silicon Valley billionaire, and makes it seem smart and cohesive, while keeping the action propulsive and powerful with sharp edits, shaky-cam and actual stunts over CGI. It reunites director Greengrass and once-and-future (and still buff) Matt Damon for a Jason Bourne movie so familiar-in-a-good-way that they dispensed with a Ludlum-esque title descriptor and simply called it Jason Bourne.Īnd, if nothing else, it cements director Greengrass’s reputation as the guy who should have been making James Bond movies all these years.

Jason Bourne is the follow-up to the hugely-popular Bourne trilogy (Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum), made prior to 2012’s failed reboot with Jeremy Renner. It says so right here in director Paul Greengrass’s tutorial, “How to make a Jason Bourne movie.” Though not an amnesiac anymore, the rogue CIA killing machine has plenty of gaps to fill that his memory doesn’t cover.Īnd when Bourne goes looking for his past, almost unimaginable mayhem follows.

Jason Bourne’s shadowy past is the gift that keeps on giving.
