Jason Bourne (Damon) emerges after years in hiding when he finds out that the CIA have set up a newer, and no doubt more sinister, equivalent to the program that turned him into a human weapon. CIA director Tommy Lee Jones sends in Vincent Cassel to knock out Bourne, whilst Bourne himself once again allies with his old pal Julia Stiles. Queue the shaky-cam, explosions and BIG car chases (the showpiece of which is being purported to be the most expensive of all time). Oh, and this time around Bourne blows up Las Vegas!

Almost 10 years on from The Bourne Ultimatum, Matt Damon has again reunited with Paul Greengrass (director of the second and third instalments of the franchise) to once again shake the money tree. If they can make something even half as entertaining as their previous collaborations, they will deserve every penny that falls out.

Love or hate his penchant for shaky cameras, Greengrass’s style manages to capture virtually every angle of the action and his team’s award-winning editing guarantees this will be one of the most exciting movies of the year to watch even if the rest was a bust.

After he reunites with an old pal (Johnson) through Facebook, a mild-mannered accountant (Hart) is lured into the world of international espionage.

The super-cool secret agent and the reluctant innocent is an age-old stock premise that needs good writing and good acting to pull it off – which this film fortunately has in spades. The on screen relationship between Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart just works. Their chemistry is helped by a cute twist: in high school, Hart was the cool kid and the most popular guy in school, while Johnson was the ostracised, overweight loser. Hart’s nostalgia for the old days and disappointment with his current life creates a sympathetic tie to the characters as they deal with their role reversal and a conspiracy within the CIA.

After all, the future of the free world is at stake, and the only thing standing between the good guys and the triumph of the dark side is one man’s accounting skills. It makes more sense than you might think. The action scenes are fun and the dialogue is funny. What more could you ask for?

Worth it for the footage of a young Dwayne Johnson singing in the shower –but not for the reasons you might think. Keep it clean, people.
