Who is Jason Bourne? Just your average Joe Spy!

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2015)

Jason Bourne has no idea who he is, or what happened anytime before 2 weeks ago. All he knows is he was rescued from the middle of the ocean by fishermen with two bullets in his back. When he gets to Europe he realizes that almost everyone wants him dead. He learns that he can speak many languages, and is skilled in fighting, and killing. But he has no idea how. He teams with a young gypsy to travel across France, trying to learn who he is, and why this is all happening. This movie balances action and mystery very well. We only learn what Jason Bourne does, and actually piece the story together as he does. A pretty good action movie, with a spy anyone can relate to.
Soundtrack: 8- Not a perfect soundtrack, but it did capture the art of the film, and helped establish Bourne's feelings.
Script: 9- Excellent pacing, and for the most part, great character development. The "average Joe" angle with a spy angle underneath played out well.
Originality: 10- Spies have been seen before, but never like this. Great job.
Cinematography: 9- The director captured a gritty action style, while also giving the feel of standing alongside Bourne as he goes through his challenges himself.
Casting: 8- Most of the actors fit the roles they were given. Few did not. Matt Damon was the correct casting choice.
Acting: 8- The actors did a good job, excluding a select few.
Overall: 8.6
