“Jason Bourne”: a review of reviews of the Russian press

New part bompiani”, returned to the screens of the hero Matt Damon after almost ten years of absence, was released on 1 September. In General, the Russian critics expressed more claims to “Jason Bourne” than foreign: most of them believe that the picture, though, and kept the spirit of the original franchise, is still significantly inferior to the previous three parts (“the evolution of Bourne”, of course, does not count).

“Jason Bourne”: a review of reviews of the Russian press

Stanislav Zelva: “Technical absurdity of the situation ridiculous”Formally, everything is like before: the CIA for three seconds connects to any camera in the world, finds Bourne in the next town (Athens, Berlin, London, Las Vegas), that sends people in suits and with earpieces, Bourne beats them and runs away. But the technical absurdity of the situation, is obvious even to the layman — all those endless “in this room there’s a pay phone in a moment I will connect and erase through it all the files on this computer”, have never looked so ridiculous. In a long line of employees of the CIA, with interest watching Bourne, has never been such a clumsy, provocatively implausible character as the heroine Vikander (who in retaliation suddenly plays pretty bad). Among the enemies Bourne never was such a caricature of a killer, like Kassel, which kills all who approach him on the meter. CIA Director John, admittedly, adorable — never mind such straightforward and, in no other way to say, stupid crimes, like here towards the end”.

Boris Ivanov: “the Picture is not without humor, sexy and intriguing story,”born too cool to his game with the CIA seemed tense. Militants control fly away from him like bowling pins, and send against him an army of the CIA is not even trying. So tension in most action scenes of the film is the same as in the early fragment, where Bourne is involved in underground fighting, cut down the enemy with one blow. With the same success Matt Damon could push our way through the throng of preschoolers. If “Jason Bourne” was a compact hour and a half movie, he could pull a “three” for energetic soundtrack, famous faces in the frame and conformity to a spy movie (speed and frequent changes of scenery, the war agent alone against a powerful organization). But sweeping two-hour painting with a minimum of action, efficiency and a sense of humor, sexy and intriguing story on a positive evaluation can not expect”.

Denis Ruzaev: “Action justifies the plans for the sequel”Every viewer knows that this uncomplicated intrigue afoot not for the sake of ideas and meanings — and to methodically deployed in full combat Symphony of action. Well, she knows about this and Greengrass and therefore allows his characters to speak only in the short breaks between battles. Two of them — starting in Athens during mass protests and the final in Las Vegas on ahconference — look so crowded performances of death and destruction, of noise and fury that justify the existence of not only this film, but even the plans for the next sequel, if Greengrass with Damon is.”

Oleg Sentsov: “the Story is not at all important”born – a superhero without a Cape and tuxedo, unspectacular, sparing of words, saving in the fight beats and the best feel in the crowd. But all this we knew before. The difference between this new film is that the plot it is frankly decorative is a pure action for action’s sake, and born – rebel without a cause, forgetting not only about who he was, but why is doing something right now. The main thing is not to stop. And the Kassel rifle will kill or the audience will wonder why watching this film for the fourth time in a row.”

Vincent Cassel in the role of a killer

Sergei Sychev: “Bourne caught like a pokemon”Adventure begins when the heroes of the film dashing chase through the streets of European and American millionaire, scattering right and left, so that no Superman never dreamed of. Funny, when the Director of the CIA receives the high-definition video on a large screen from anywhere in the world, where was his goal. And juggling with gadgets makes audience isn’t even laughing, and dumbfounded grin, because even if it would be possible to imagine that at least a small fraction of all of this is possible, then, certainly, there would be no Snowden or Assange or international terrorism. On the other hand, if you imagine that the Director of the CIA all the energy, time, and state funds spending is constantly on the hunt for former agents who are dedicated to seeing them on the big screen and donating dozens of operatives, there can be no operations to prevent terrorist attacks. Bourne should be caught, like pokemon, in a process suspiciously similar”.

Matt Damon plays strangers in the spirit of Bourne
Natalia Serebryakova: “Bourne is better than bond”at all “Jason Bourne” to some extent – not just adrenaline-fuelled entertainment, but also a statement of fact, how badly could age for fifteen years (and Vincent Cassel, too). After all, bond is constantly changing, and always plays Bourne’s Matt Damon, it may be a bit tired from the role. However, this deadly fatigue and makes the character real and alive. In short, don’t miss the action with a human face (which in the world of modern blockbuster less and less)”.

Stas Tyrkin: “In times of real threats such films are funny”In times of real threats as a particularly striking irrelevance and stupidity of Hollywood high-tech craft, using for selfish purposes “signs of the day.” Now as a particularly stupid looking story of the superspy whose identity was kidnapped by the CIA, acting as the main terrorist organization. Maybe it really is, but to observe how the Director of this venerable organization (barely alive Tommy Lee Jones), apparently in the absence of other challenges, personally monitors the hard fate of Bourne, sending him killer (Vincent Cassel), who puts on the ears of half of Europe (after all, no way to Bourne learned that his real name is David Webb) is, sorry, ridiculous.”

Sergey Koscheev: “Greengrass loses all sense of proportion”Ragged, hand-held camera shot action that is “born” once brought into fashion, but Greengrass loses all sense of proportion — from the movie natural cradles, an end to this pandemonium every time comes as a Savior. Never throughout the picture is even a spark of a new idea, attempts to re-invent a franchise that needed it. Changing faces at the CIA now is more severe and is clearly serving Tommy Lee Jones is relentless and Alicia Vikander, the computers were newer — but inside it feels all the same, hackneyed skeleton. So in summary: zabronzovevshy born beneath its signature theme in the Remix, only to return. Only this time look for don’t want to.”
