Jason Bourne: Exciting, Beautiful, Relentless, Exhausting [Review]

by Mark Miller | Aug 1, 2016

I confess, this was my first Jason Bourne movie with Matt Damon. Sure I saw that one with Jeremy Renner but that doesn’t really count. And even though this was my first real taste of the franchise, it felt tired. You can tell that’s exactly what the film’s...
