Its a Bourne film with Greengrass, What did you expect?
Rotten Tomatos 57% Cinemascore: A-
Jason Bourne is a great action movie trapped within a generic film. The plot of most action movies are rarely exceptional, but the spy genre has had its bar raised with recent movies such as 2012s Skyfall, 2014s Winter Solider and last years Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation. Jason Bourne works best in one of it's several action set pieces or fantastic chase scenes, and begins to drag when the plot needs to kick in to recycle the same "global surveillance" plot (featured in most the movies listed above) and to remind us how bad Tommy Lee Jones is as a corrupt government director. Despite its clear flaws Jason Bourne is still a great reminder as to why the original trilogy is still beloved, Greengrass knows how to direct action and thats absolutely the case here.
