#JASON BOURNE SEQUEL 2018 MOVIE#
The mark of a good movie or of a stage drama is how easily one is able to suspend ones disbelief and settle into the 'reality' presented by the production. Very disappointing indeed!Īt some time the film genre of rogue USA, CIA operatives and their assassins has to become more than just violence (makes the wannabe macho men feel good?) pyrotechnics, millions of bullets, loooong chase sequences jumbled into a an often confusing plot, This has resulted in a movie which I would have preferred to have missed. This is actually quite a difficult and boring film watch, in part due to the camera being all over the place and the editing being so choppy, not the smoothness of a Bond film, or even the slick styling of the originals, just a real hash of ideas all thrown into the pot, with no coherency! The ending is quite predictable and leaves t open for yet more films to follow, but of they do, they need a new director, strong scriptwriters and new ideas which move the theme forwards instead of simply treading the same ground all the time! This has got to be one of the biggest disappointments this year in the film genre. The directing is awful and the storyline is so paper thin and transparent as to almost not be there! Whilst this could have been a really good film, because some of the action sequences are actually quite good and well thought out, with lots of detail, such as the car chases and riots in Greece, the way they are filmed, with the camera constantly shaking all over the place and the editing being so choppy as to not see anything.

I've always been a fan of the original three films in this series and even the fourth without Damon was quite good, but one wonders why this fifth film in the series was ever made? The script is dire, limp, full of holes and mega cliches. Only once the end-titles roll is there relief, when Moby’s ‘Extreme Ways’ returns to rekindle fond memories of Doug Liman’s original film and remind us how well the Bourne franchise began before Greengrass ruined it. His climactic fist fight with Damon is a damp squib. Vincent, such a charismatic villain in superior films such as Mesrine, has little to do but wander around with a determined look on his face shooting extras as he passes. Alicia spends most of the film in a room or a van peering at computer screens. Talents such as Alicia Vikander and Vincent Cassel are wasted. And someone stop that relentless staccato muzak, please! Assassination attempt in a crowded hall (screaming crowds, confusion etc.)? Check. Car chase that involves weaving against traffic on the wrong side of the road? Check. Sir.’ Lost Bourne? Who’d have thought? Motor cycle chase? Check. Sample (After Bourne has escaped yet again): ‘We’ve lost him. Instead of opening out the action, as Doug Liman did so memorably in the original Bourne Ultimatum, Greengrass closes it down. We know Paul is your friend, Matt, but he’s ruined what could have become a franchise to rival Mission Impossible. They couldn’t film a visually coherent sequence if they tried.

The two culprits both come from a British TV documentary background and they should have stayed there. Snap-editing further fractures the image into mash-up cinema. As shot by henchman cinemaphotographer Barry Ackroyd, the camera judders uncontrollably.
His trademark in-your-face shaky camera shots ruin every movie he’s ever been involved with. Note to Matt Damon: Paul Greengrass cannot direct film.
