Are you, Jason? Matt Damon returns to the million dollar franchise.
Fierce fighting hand to hand. Check. Action in exotic locales. Check. car chase through the narrow streets of a city at full speed. Check. Appearance of a sniper with a telescopic sight. Check. the CIA wanting kill Jason Bourne. Check.
like the James Bond films, the Bourne series starring Matt Damon also uses formulas in all its deliveries. that’s not bad in theory, for perhaps the reason for its success. the four films in the franchise Jason Bourne has raised US $ 1221.5 million worldwide
Jason Bourne , the new film in the series – which opens tomorrow Friday, July 29 in US – Satisfies the expectations of the fans, it plays all the elements that identify the franchise: a plot that takes place in many cities (Athens, Reykjavik, Berlin and Las Vegas), action scenes filmed with a handheld camera and quick cuts . and frantic chase in cars dizzying, fighting style krav maga and the CIA again following the trail of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon)
Bourne: over the same
But what was fresh and original in the Bourne saga, with its fighting that looked brutal and nothing choreographed and a camera that put the viewer in the middle of the action, it is predictable and monotonous in Jason Bourne .
Perhaps due to the artificiality of the plot of the film. Part of the motivation of the protagonist throughout the saga was to regain his identity and to remember his past, which already achieved in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).
So Jason Bourne , screenwriters Paul Greengrass and Christopher Rouse introduce a new conspiracy involving the father of Bourne, fellow actor Richard Webb (Gregg Henry), so that the protagonist is forced to leave his retreat and fall back into the crosshairs of the CIA.
As a novelty, the film introduces the topic of cyber war and invasion of privacy by the CIA. So two important characters in the story: the Heather Lee agent (played by Oscar winner, Alicia Vikander), an expert in cyber attacks the CIA, and the millionaire Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed, who appear in Rogue one: a Star Wars Story and stars in the series the Night of ), founder of a technology company in Silicon Valley
the CIA believes that Bourne is. behind a hack data from the CIA, which can expose a secret project that has to do with cyber espionage. So Bourne again becomes a target to eliminate.
It is worth admiring the return of Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass to the saga, as both did not participate in the previous game, The . Bourne Legacy (2012), an attempt to relaunch the franchise without its original star
But who expected the return of Damon and Greengrass introduce new ideas to present the action scenes – as the spectacular flight and fighting in Tangier in the Bourne Ultimatum (2007) or vehicular persecution in Moscow in the Bourne Supremacy (2004) – will be disappointed in Jason Bourne
the action scenes, although they are produced with admirable realism. – as the protest in Athens – suffer from the sense of space. Are fast, made cuts with camera in hand, but the viewer does not have a guide that allows you to understand what happens and what the risks are at stake.
The presentation of the technological issue is worthy of laughter, then uses to clichés that maybe would in a James Bond movie but not in a saga that has made realism and rawness your brand
Jason Bourne. less credible than before
best example of this is the center of operations of the CIA, from which the performance of US agents in a protest in Athens in which is Bourne is monitored.
in real time, and amid thousands of people, this operations center in Washington manages to locate Bourne, identify escape routes and even be aware, in seconds, of the plans of the Greek government.
in a moment, a agent consulted the CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) which of two available satellites can be used to monitor Bourne and Dewey says “use the 12″, as if talking about the most common thing in the world.
In conclusion, Jason Bourne takes few risks and bet on the safe side, so it provides a new installment brings nothing new to the saga. It is disappointing that this almost cartoonish villains and address a relevant issue – such as cyber espionage -. With the depth of a textbook
