Screenplay: Paul Greengrass and Christopher Rouse (based on characters increasingly tangential to those created by Robert Ludlum). Twitter Capsule:
Tired thriller about dour, conservatively dressed people who run, shoot, drive, swipe cards, stare meaningfully, etc.
Second Capsule:
In case you assumed, as I did, that a bad Jason Bourne movie is still better than other bad movies, that is sadly not true, or only barely.
VOR:①
Dispiriting how limp and vestigial this is. That happens when you fire writers. Even relations to anxious global ambiance has become lazy and cosmetic.
