1 minute past midnight Polish time. Here comes the promised review of
JASON BOURNE
Watchable. While it's far from poor,
it's the weakest of the Bourne franchise. Not only does the film copy
standard solutions from the series but also from other movies, e.g.
Jason takes part in fights for a living like Wolverine. What's worse,
he's clearly put on weight and his muscles are covered in fat. Two chase
scenes are just too long. At the same time it's a sensible follow-up to
the previous installments. Even Bourne's kills get summed up (32). The
film refers to contemporary events, e.g. Syntagma Square protests in
Athens, which brings the action home. Deep Dream is a swift reference to
social media surveillance. Vincent Cassel is superb as a vicious agent,
so is Alicia Vikander in the ambiguity of her character. Clear-cut
structure lets you follow the film easily. Some major deaths change the
scene. Intelligent and humorous ending promises a sequel. Very good
music by Moby extends over credits. Fun guaranteed.
