Sounds a bit like a familiar request to Apple from the FBI in 2016, doesn’t it?Įssentially, the fifth entry in the Jason Bourne franchise is an egregiously forced excuse to see Matt Damon kick butt again with cheaper imitations of the series’ definitive action spliced with needless, ham-fisted political commentary. Meanwhile, CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones, trying to be the new Joan Allen’s Pam Landy) has a plan to enact a secret partnership with the founder of a growing technology company (Riz Ahmed) to allow the CIA backdoor access to every one of its customers’ cell phones.
Jason Bourne discovers from Julia Stiles’ Nicky Parsons that his father was involved in the creation of Treadstone, the program that made Bourne into an assassin, prompting him to angrily reopen his war on the CIA. Jason Bourne has two different plots happening simultaneously that are given no real reason to correlate with one another, yet they all too conveniently do. As such, fans were on cloud nine upon announcement that the duo would re-team for 2016’s Jason Bourne… until they saw it.
Matt Damon said on record that the only way he would return for another Jason Bourne movie after The Bourne Ultimatum would be if director Paul Greengrass agreed to return, too.
