This is #5 in the series.
It stars Matt Damon.
#4 in the series starred Jeremy Renner. I can't even remember if Matt Damon was in that one. He must've been. It would be a bit arrogant of him not to even turn up for the filming of his very own movie franchise. Fucked if I can rememebr though. Stu will know.
I think I watched all 5 of these films in a row during a movie channel marathon. Being the anti-auteur thicky I am, it wasn’t til halfway thru this newest one that I realized all 5 films have an identical template. From start to finish.
This new one is a bit shit really. Despite all the insanely hectic thrilling action you get a bit inured to it. Oooh, the camera is all shakey, shakey again. This is the action part! Was half waiting for it to end. 56% at rotten tomatoes.
Some bloke near the end says to James Bourned “you’ve killed 32 people”. Presumably this is over his whole career as an assassin, in all 4 films. Well guess what, that CIA asset baddie on Bourne’s arse casually popped off half that number of good guys with his silencered gun in the span of about 10 fucking minutes. He did not give a single shit. He hates Bourne for “compromising” precious CIA agents in the field…… then casually kills all the CIA guys en route to escaping the casino and just prior to driving a SWAT truck thru some old ladies face as she sits at the pokey machine.
Who writes this shit?
And the mega car chase with CIA man’s commandeered SWAT truck? Must’ve killed at least a hundred innocent commuters there. Just bowled right the fuck through those Sunday driving motherfuckers. “Out of my way, I must avenge the man who compromised precious CIA agents in the field….. uhh, yes, I confess after I killed his fucking father. Um, hold on, why am I doing this again? Anyway, you are blocking my justice rampage to nowhere for no one and for this you shall die as my very recently commandeered SWAT truck crushes you for no discernible reason other than oohh, big movie car chase major motion picture action.”
Matt Damon; did he even turn up for the 4th Jason Borne movie? FFS.

- plug in the new car chase
- plug in the new CIA office chick who is a bit of a baddie and at the same time a bit of a goodie
- plug in Bourne using earpiece to talk latest fall guy thru crowded thoroughfare
- plug in arse-covering boss who’s really an uber baddie.
