Everyone around the world was 'dying' to get Bourne again. And with writer/director Paul Greengrass and the lovely Matt Damon returning to the scene, we knew we were in for one hella-tight ride. I guess nine years later and one ill-conceived spin-off, the two felt it was an opportune time to inject us with a dose of Bourne-adrenaline and his extreme ways. And oh how we were more than willing to get "doped" up again. Only trouble is, instead of innovation, it serves up a good dish of Bourne's greatest hits - sadly, there is nothing new here to advance the story. However, Jason Bourne is still a worthy successor, and despite its lack of deep intelligence - something the previous movies so effortlessly
excelled at - it was still a thrilling pulsating ride from beginning to end. The unstoppable pace of Damon's standoffish Bourne still represents a driving force to be reckoned with.

Despite its flaws and lack of depth, this blockbuster still provides almost everything you'd come to expect from a Bourne film – the
up-close fight scenes, improvised weapons, insane car chases, the
oh-so-clever spy-craft, and the high-tech espionage techniques that border
on wizardry and no-he-di'nt! It's fun, intense and will leave the audiences relatively pleased in the end.

I liked this movie. The action sequences were decent and I was on the edge of my seat throughout. I did have to suspend some reality during but I was pleasantly surprised overall.
