Well, it was loyal enough to the other movies, same music, same action, same Bourne… it’s a real pity this movie was so boring. I think an actual plot would have done this movie some good. The hand-to-hand combat scenes were its highest point, I’d say, in perfect Bourne-style, using makeshift weapons. The car-race scenes can’t compare to the previous ones, unless you measure them by how many things they destroy. Most of all the plot was boring. Sorry to say this movie didn’t give me any emotion.
I loved the first one, was surprised when I loved the second one, and even more surprised but quite glad when I liked the third movie too. But this one… Jason is not so driven as he was before, the real hero of the movie (Nikki Parsons) died early and the new female character of the movie is Heather Lee (there MUST be one, it’s the politically correct thing to do). She works for Robert Devey (Tommy Lee Jones) who seems to be the big bad boss here, but Heather (Alicia Vikander) helps Bourne all the way, even saving his life by shooting Devey. I never thought for a second that she was another Nikki, she was so cold and ambitious it was obvious she wasn’t doing it for him.
There’s a new asset (Vincent Cassel) just one this time, who has a personal grudge against him. I didn’t like him because he was a soul-less monster. He killed innocent people without hesitation, and without need.
A lot of effort went into making good action scenes, and they were good indeed, but this movie had a weak plot and no heart.
Jason Bourne was of course Matt Damon.
Nikki was again Julia Stiles
