An impromptu reflection upon my five favorite male characters reveals, in no particular order, Javier Rodriguez Rodriguez, Sean McGuire, Ian Malcolm, Jason Bourne and, of course, Han.

The Bourne backstory of trying to discover one’s backstory whilst running from those afraid of said backstory’s proliferation is dynamic and compelling. In Jason Bourne, Bourne (Damon) is far removed from that initial passport photo but seemingly closer to the truth. And that scares so many people.

Paul Greengrass’ mastery of technological surveillance and chase sequences combines with the aptitude and abilities of Bourne to create a visceral theatrical gusto for the whole picture. Think Waterloo Station from Ultimatum.

Julia Stiles returns as Nicky Parsons, Bourne’s reluctant confidant always inciting or comforting our hero, and continues her rogue brilliance.

And bonjour Vincent Cassel! Reuniting with Damon, he yields his intrinsic Asset prowess. Thankfully Tommy Lee Jones left Samuel Gerard in the ’90s and portrayed a tired and conniving CIA director spot on. Heather Lee (Vikander) is introduced into the fray showing a magnificent overconfidence.

Although the Las Vegas destruction bit evokes Cameron Poe, the film triumphs. Jason Bourne folds up 3.89 out of 5 napkins to smack those sent after him.
