JASON BOURNE: After success with the original trilogy, I suppose a fourth outing seemed like the natural thing to do, although beating a dead horse is not high on my list. I found this script a little weak and full of some holes. However, I will admit action abounds with car chases, explosions, well choreographed fight scenes and all the trappings of the Bourne franchise. So if you're a fan of this genre, you will enjoy this outing thoroughly. Matt Damon returns as that CIA amnesiac who is still wondering about his identity and with able help from Julia Stiles and later, Alicia Vikander, he uncovers the truth. Out to thwart him at every turn is Tommy Lee Jones as a ruthless CIA director along with a marvelously mean Vincent Cassal as an assassin known simply as Asset. In the technical department I can't recall when a film score had such relentless drive. which added to the excitement greatly. Global trotting is also in the mix, from London to Las Vegas and you won't be bored with the scenery. So, all in all, a fun summer film despite a few flaws.
