So much average
Excellent but underrated film
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The original Bourne trilogy was the best spy series, ever. Legacy was decent too, just not THAT good. I thought if only Matt Damon was involved... and now we get this... Average as an action movie, pretty bad as an addition to fantastic franchise.Alicia Vikander was a complete miscast and non-believable in her role. Respected Tommy Lee Jones looked tired and disinterested. When I heard Damon and Greengrass are reviving partnership on Bourne series, I thought they would make sure scrip and production value is great. All we got was a poor effort and a cash grab, milking fantastic franchise and bringing it down.
The strongest memory I have of watching this film, other than how comfortable I was to get up and use the restroom an hour in, confident I wouldn't miss anything, was how tired everyone in it looked. Tired, disinterested, checked out. What dialogue there is, is handled with the kind of unsurety you'd expect from a read-through, and most of the leads sizzle with a kind of barely repressed disdain for each shot. It seems like a movie made in the minutes stolen between takes of a better film, that the actors cared more about, where the script was rushed into their hands shortly after having been written. The color palette is grim, and dour, and whole stretches of the movie are lost to green shadows - the rest is kodachrome washed out, with the sort of gravitas one expects from a handheld vhs recorder. I suspect there was music, but I don't remember a single thing about it. I laughed during the somehow-we're-doing-a-car-chase scene near the finale of the flick, simultaneously evoking the Fast and Furious movies in its relative gaudiness, but also devoid of the charm and style that franchise imparts into its moving pieces. This flick is bleak, bored with itself, and regrettable. I am confident there was a plot, but, again, I dont remember a thing. Just...do not watch this.
They try so hard to make the action like the originals but it feel more like a jerry bruckheimer movvie mixed with 24, and put a lot of edgy young people that try to be "expert-cool-character"(to be honest, it feels like anime cliche), that doesn't fit in the bourne's movies, a lot of situations that doesn't make sense or doesn't fell fitting. I have tried to watch the whole movie but i can't. I think that the series was pretty damn good with just 3 movies that begin and finish the bourne situation, my recomendations is, that if yoy never have the chance to watch the three movies from the original trilogy, try this one is a good generic action movie but not a good asthe OG trilogy.
Its really ok, dont think too much. These 1star ratings are just dumb.10 star ratings also... good action movie with a little nostalgia.
