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.

Rated: 3/5

Chicago Reader

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.

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.

Rated: 3/5

The Hudsucker

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

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Its rote construction and stakes that always feel like an arm-length away from stronger impact, “Jason Bourne” may be questionable enough to make us wonder if we’ve been seeing the same film four times now.

Rated: 2/5

A disappointing return to the Jason Bourne universe. Matt Damon still shines but the action feels uninspired and as a whole, it's a lackluster way to end the franchise.

It was fine. I definitely didn't remember anything from the other movies.

Jason Bourne is a competent but uninspired return to the franchise - enough to satisfy fans craving action, but lacking the spark that made the earlier films stand out.

Just one long action scene. 30 mins in I had a headache, 15 mins later I'd lost interest and was looking forward to turning in and reading. It's come to a sad state of affairs when it's hard to find a good book, and just as hard to find a good movie.

This movie is 80% second unit shot. Cars chase cars, bad guys chase Bourne , a lot of crowd scenes, and a lot of people walking always at a fast clip. Matt Damon is in scenes with other actors for about a total of 10 minutes film time. The story line is weak and the execution is poor. How in God's name you could spend 120 million making this boring "triller" is beyond me. As an added bonus the music is bad but plays in nearly every scene. There is a good reason they never made another JB movie after this.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Movie is not bad.. casting for the character heather lee could have been better...the actress has no acting skill. Her dialogue delivery basically felt like reading of a board...no emotions in face everything felt forced...i wish she would have died by the middle of the movie it would have been way better without her character boring screentime 🤮
