4/5
AFTER almost a decade, the dynamic duo of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are finally back and, like old trusted friends, you know that they will have your back and won’t let you down.
Intellectually smart, this gritty spy film continues seamlessly from The Bourne Ultimatum and, en route, completely bypasses the blip of Jeremy Renner’s unconvincing The Bourne Legacy.
