Jason Bourneis back. Really back. Like, exactly the same as the last time we saw him, except a little older and, if you can believe it, a little more morose. While it’s good to see a favorite old character again, it’s that very resistance to change that preventsJason Bournefrom becoming more than a shadow of the franchise’s former glory, repeating old beats, character arcs, and music cues to diminished effect.
