Jason Bourne

Jason Bourne

Rating 6.5 out of 10

Still out of town and some time to kill.  Can't see Suicide Squad until the Hottie rolls into town so Jason Bourne it is.  Went in with very low expectations and by that was pleasantly surprised.  Not a great movie but I was mildly entertained for the 123 minutes I sat in the chair.

I like Matt Damon and the rest of the cast.  Like the rest of the Bourne movies (except the one he wasn't in) for good or bad Matt carries the film.  This one is pretty much like all the rest.  Jason is still getting pieces of his memory back.  Just enough to carry the plot line forward.  The evil CIA boss (Tommy Lee Jones) knows he has the secrets locked up in his brain to bring down his secret op program so he must be taken out.  There is always a sensitive female working in the CIA that decides to slip Bourne top secret information to help him find out why he is the way he is.  This time that agent is Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander).

Lots of action as Bourne takes out one hit man after another in his quest to expose the bad guys.  Lots of scenery as they travel from Greece to Italy to Las Vegas.  I know I have harped not this before but the film style that seems to follow these movies is crazy.  The camera never stops moving.  Even when the characters are standing still the camera floats up and around like the cameraman is drunk.  Fight scenes are zoomed in and out so fast it's hard to tell at times whom is hitting whom.

That said I was mildly entertained.  If you liked the other Bourne films you will like this one too.  Damon is good.  If you want to get out of the summer heat there are worse ways than this movie. Or it will make a decent rental a little later.
