Reviews
"Made with a palpable sense of urgency, this tense, propulsive motion picture is a model of what mainstream entertainment can be like when everything goes right." (Los Angeles Times)
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Through it all, Damon keeps us glued to the war going on inside Bourne's head. It's a brilliantly implosive performance; he owns the role and the movie." (Rolling Stone)
"[JASON BOURNE] feels like old times. The band is back together for a reunion tour, and if some of the original members are missing, the new additions have learned the chords and are even permitted to try out a few fresh riffs." (New York Times)
"JASON BOURNE is an engrossing reimmersion in the violent and mysterious world of Matt Damon's shadowy secret op." (Hollywood Reporter)
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] breathlessly confident thriller with a self-consciously modern edge that casts its antihero adrift in a post-Snowden world of surveillance and social media." (The Guardian)
