Jason Bourne : Deviated

Bourne film series was a unique action film series which was made with style and suspense which was unique to itself.

Many of the films were amazingly structured it makes it so hanged to the film till the end.

Now this deviates with Bourne Legacy (2012). Now since it reprises new characters we can tolerate.

Usual Bourne films are filled with mystery and JB or Jason Bourne was never a story driven character, he survives. Like the viewer of the film character himself is confused makes it a mutual experience.

Now this is deviated in the new installment. He gets to remember things and he becomes obsessed with finding his past, and true.... that is what anyone would do.

But the problem is when you go revealing the past we need old characters and we less in this movie, but what we see is a whole new universe of CIA and global espionage. Which previous films never had. JB never was a hero. He was a runner.

Here he becomes idealistic a more objective driven. And yet the film concludes with no answers.

Action sequences lacked the uniqueness the prior films had. More like watching a typical action film Like "Taken (2008)".

Anyway it's JB he survived things for 2 decades giving the viewers the thrill of a lifetime and this deviationis not a big deal.

But it really screwed the stories arc.

Hope they'll recover the story in coming installments.

Overall - 3.5/5
