In “Jason Bourne”, our man Jason knows who he is – but he doesn’t really know who he is.

Actor Matt Damon suffered to get in shape for his new movie Jason Bourne.
Alicia Vikander boards the Bourne franchise as Heather Lee, an expert on cyber security at the Central Intelligence Agency.
And Matt is thankful director Paul Greengrass was able to secure Alicia’s talents for the latest instalment in the Bourne movie series, because she is so in-demand. He’s tasked by old friend Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) with stopping Central Intelligence Agency director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) from creating an invasive surveillance program. “Once I chose to do another, it became very important to me to try, with some subtlety and elegance, to hand it back to Universal with places to go and characters that take it forward in a way that felt elegant and not false”.
While the actual plot may not be the tightest in the Bourne series, the action set-pieces (including a motorbike ride through a rioting Athens crowd and a SWAT vehicle chase through Las Vegas) more than make up for it. While Bourne has gone dark, Ex-CIA operative Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) hacks into the CIA’s mainframe and downloads classified files that can help Bourne piece together the truth.
The film starts when the retired Bourne is drawn back into battle.
“I was skeptical there was one to be done, I was skeptical I wanted to do it and I was skeptical it would hold up with the others”, the director recently told The Times. As the last series of the series Jason Bourne is comes up few months ago and here it comes with more interesting and more actions and really going to be loved by the audience.

While there’s no concrete info as to when the Jason Bourne DVD will be available to purchase, it’s looking like December 2016 is the most likely time when the film will be released. She’s distinguished by her icy demeanor, but Vikander offers glimpses of warmth when Bourne shows Lee some vulnerability. The flashback sequences involving Jason and his father (Gregg Henry) are a bit simplistic and overwrought. The movie trailer implies it’s veering into the murky world of Government invasion of privacy (it cleverly evokes Edward Snowden), but the action film rapidly morphs into the familiar cat-and-mouse plot with Bourne still haunted by flashbacks and in endless peril.
