Jason Bourne: You Know His Name

I know not everyone is a fan of sequels and agrees many movies tend to do a little too many of them. I typically agree with this notion, except for the Bourne movies.  You can't deny their suspense keeps you watching and when you hear the next one is out, you're curious.  If that isn't you, then you probably don't want to read any further.

Jason is back, but this time he is approached by Nicky Parsons who has found some secret info on who Jason is and why he was chosen to be a trained killer.  This truth is something Jason has always needed, so he agrees to work with her in hopes of finding it out.  Their plan spoils when Nicky is killed by a ruthless assassin who is on a mission of his own to kill Jason.  Even though Nicky isn't physically here, she still leads Bourne on the right path to important files that give him intel on how his father was connected to the CIA and even had a lot to do with him being selected and then molded into the killer he became.  One of the leaders of the CIA, however, does not want Bourne to find out this information in fear of it being leaked and the CIA being exposed, or more importantly the corruptness of it all.  The further into this Bourne gets, the more they are after him and he soon finds out the man who killed his father is also the assassin trying to kill him now.  With the help of a new member of the CIA team, Heather Lee, Bourne is closer to finding out what really happened to his father and how Bourne got to where he was for so many years.

Meanwhile, a successful social media company who has typically worked with the CIA in allowing them access to customer's identities, finally severs ties only to gain them as an enemy.  CIA Director Robert Dewey, will do anything to ensure he gets what he wants which is Jason Bourne dead and the owner of the social media company punished one way or another.  It's up to Bourne to figure out a way to deal with his inner demons and decide what he needs to do.  Does he kill the man  who killed his father and the man who led that mission, or does he find another way with less death since that seems to be what he has surrounded himself by?

What I loved about this movie was the pace, suspense, and storyline.  It didn't drag on like some action movies do.  It also didn't seem redundant in its context.  This wasn't an already been done movie in the Bourne Legacy which to me is a compliment to the series since there have been so many movies made.  The suspense had me watching intently for the next twist and Matt Damon did not disappoint.  An awesome summer, action film.
