Jason Bourne

PG-13
Starring: Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel, Riz Ahmed and Ato Essandoh
Running Time: 2 Hours and 3 Minutes

I can say that when you go to see one of the movies in the Bourne franchise, you know exactly what your going to get. Well, this movie is right up there with the best of them, number five to be exact. Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne and thrown right back into all of the action he is so famous for.
You find Bourne trying to make a go of it by engaging in underground prizefighting to make a living.
When Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) locates him and seeks him out, protests and anarchy just happen to be taking place all around them and all chaos breaks out!
It has been about a decade since Bourne went into hiding and disappeared, life has changed dramatically since then in the world of technology. Now that he has been located, they, (the CIA) can follow him anywhere in the world with just a computer keystroke! When he is detected by a sharp young CIA operative and computer whiz, Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) in what appears to be a CIA  data/information center, she is instructed by the agency director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), a tough as nails old geezer, to not lose contact with him. Dewey has hired an evil and heartless hitman called "the Asset" (Vincent Cassel) to take Bourne out.
Bourne is dealing with flashbacks that become more frequent and finally lead him to figure out the death of his father and who is responsible for it!
 This movie also involves a young up and coming mega computer genius, Aaron Kalloor
 (Riz Ahmed), a Mark Zuckerberg type character who owns a billion dollar company called, Deep Dream that just happens to be involved with Robert Dewey!
This movie definitely contains a fair amount of twists and turns and some major action sequences as well. I enjoyed the different locations that the movie took place in; Athens, Greece (it was actually Tenerife which is located in the Canary Islands) London, Berlin, Washington D. C. and then there's Vegas!!! Good old Vegas, that was quite a car chasing scene that took place on the strip and locations that most Utahn's are so familiar with.
I felt like this movie had a lot of issues which are so relevant and realistic to the times we live in now!
Parents be advised: This movie is rated PG-13, and it is a hard PG-13. The action scenes are fast and furious with some pretty tough violent scenes that can be hard to watch. There was some profanity but not a great deal of it. I couldn't make out if there was an F-bomb, but I don't believe there was. I would not recommend this for children under the age of 13.
I am giving "Jason Bourne" three bags of popcorn.
