In this exhilarating action threequel, Jason Bourne emerges as the sort of troubled but resolute hero the world needs most.
  • Matt Damon Comes Of Age As Jason Bourne

    When I first saw Matt Damon on-screen about twenty years ago, my first thought was "light-weight pretty-boy"; I was a little hasty in that assessment. Hell, I was a LOT hasty!

    He has gone from "pretty" to ruggedly handsome and from a "light-weight" to an actor of gravitas and seriousness. His Jason Bourne character is menacing without being menacing...if that makes sense. He can give multiple nuances with a single look. He was chilling in "Mr. Ripley", amusing in "Oceans" but absolutely deft as Jason Bourne. Strike that: he IS Jason Bourne.

    Matt's future? I see him maturing into another Robert Redford-level character-actor of amazing dimensions. His future films should be multi-dimensional, as well.

    That bodes well for those of us who appreciate actors who are masters of their craft.
