Jason Bourne

"A lot’s changed in the past decade since Matt Damon’s last outing as Bourne. Geopolitically, the world’s a bloody shambles, which offers plenty of fresh backdrops to a new dose of assassin intrigue. And, despite studios’ best efforts, there have been no new spy/action tentpoles dominating cinemas, unless you count continuing installments of the Bond, Mission: Impossible and Fast & Furious franchises (definitely disregard The Bourne Legacy, everybody else has)."

"Further reveals key secrets about Bourne’s origins, bringing its lethal protagonist as close as he’s ever likely to get to total recall."

"Leagues ahead of Legacy but the weakest of the Matt Damon movies, Bourne still has the power to thrill. But it seems his story has run out of steam."

"A bracing reminder of how fiercely efficient Greengrass can be..."

"Hunting Bourne is more than ever a business now, with a bottom line to worry about, a crowd to please, and presumably hasty deadlines to meet."

"The Snowden/social media plotline of this film does a bit to make Bourne more relevant. But the ingredients are basically the same."

"An engrossing re-immersion in the violent and mysterious world of Matt Damon's shadowy secret op."

"Basically amounts to a trio of action set-pieces elegantly strung together. But who really cares when they’re this impressive?"
