    Jesus Christ, it’s Josh’s review of Jason Bourne! A perfect action movie, front to back. This is my favorite of the first three, and like Jason, I don’t make mistakes. I think the formula that lays the framework for these movies is mastered and best executed in this one, and it has the most interesting plot. Marie’s underwater death scene is beautifully shot and emotionally charges the rest of the film.

This movie wasn’t particularly well written or nuanced, but it was compelling. I like the subversion of the character Hanus, a savior of a lonely astronaut, who takes the form of a spider, a creature widely known to torment humans.
