What a pity that she’s not given much to do.Įven the action sequences are inexcusably incoherent. There’s little in the way of character development and the only actor who’s enjoyable here is franchise veteran Julia Stiles. Even the talented Alicia Vikander phones in her questionable performance (is she supposed to have an accent or not?) and Tommy Lee Jones plays yet another scowling caricature of a sinister government official. Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne and it feels like he’s sleepwalking through the entire movie. I actually felt bad for the actors having to deliver such dreadful dialogue their onscreen characters literally describe everything that’s happening as it unfolds (“It’s Bourne!” and “I’m going to shoot!” and “He’s running upstairs!” and “The files are downloaded!”). Bourne gets chased, throws some punches, and gets away. The entire film feels like it’s written using nothing more than the vocabulary of a 12 year old and consists of two very tiring hours of repetition. “Jason Bourne” is a spy movie for imbeciles.
