It’s one of the most celebrated action series in movie history, and now it’s finally back. Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass have returned with Jason Bourne, about the spy who lost his identity and exposed the corruption that made him a killer. It’s a new adventure featuring an all-star cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) and Vincent Cassel (Black Swan).
But is Jason Bourne any good? We’ve got answers and you’re short on time! You can watch our illustrious film critic William Bibbiani review the new Jason Bourne adventure in just :60 seconds in our latest episode of Rapid Reviews, and… if you can you spare a couple of minutes… you can also read his detailed critique of the movie, for more in-depth analysis about why Jason Bourne does (or does not) work.
Check out the review below and keep coming back every Friday for more all-new episodes of Crave’s Rapid Reviews!
