Critics Consensus

Jason Bourne delivers fans of the franchise more of what they've come to expect -- which is this sequel's biggest selling point as well as its greatest flaw.

One hour into the movie, you feel like you're watching outtakes from a Mission Impossible sequel.

It's just like old times. Once again, Bourne hurtles from one grey and gritty European metropolis to another at breathtaking speed... And once again, Greengrass stages the action with bone-jarring immediacy.

Much of Jason Bourne consists of grim action set pieces interspersed with long sequences of people sitting in front of computer screens. Somehow the movie is simultaneously frenetic and static, going nowhere really, really fast.

At just over two hours, it moves with remarkable efficiency, making it an easy and thoroughly entertaining watch.

3/5

While ‘Jason Bourne’ doesn’t exactly set the world on fire or bring anything new to the action genre it is a serviceable film that certainly won’t bore its audience.

With high-speed chases and fearsome fight sequences, the visceral spectacle charged with conflict and excitement, anchors nostalgia from the original three films.

Poor script. Ultra shakey camera work. Camera is in a super closeup mode. Annoying!

Yep, sorry. It's poor. It served as background comfort only as I got on with life. Gave it a star, had to as it had Alicia Vikander

Greengrass and Damon could have left the Bourne trilogy alone. I found this movie to be repetitive, and the plot was… minimal and weak at best. Matt Damon did a wonderful performance (as always), but the portrayal of the government black ops programs is a bit far fetched, as in the other movies. There was no grand reveal that gave the audience the closure it has been asking for since 2002 with The Bourne Identity. This movie is an example of a film series corrupt by filmmakers interested only in outputting films that require minimal creative input. Overall, a disappointment to those interested in something more than a dumb action movie.

A crisp, assured return for the series. Damon anchors the film with his steady, understated intensity, while Greengrass delivers tightly executed, high‑energy action from Athens to Vegas. The modern surveillance angle fits smoothly, and Vikander and Jones bring a cool, composed presence. Swift, polished, and thoroughly satisfying.

We shouldn't compare this movie to the other Jason Bourne films; the plot quality has dropped a lot, but the action scenes are still good.
