I watched this tonight before it comes out on Friday. This movie is really 30-45 minutes too long. I blame flashbacks. The movie tried too hard to make us remember the grieving process the main character was experiencing. After the 20th flashback, I seriously questioned what the director was thinking. Did he think we were suffering from the same disease as Memento?
The scenery was great. The action was ok. The camera work decisions were questionable. When the character was running or driving, we got what I would call running with an iPhone cam. It was very distracting and it took you out of the movie.
So, should you see this movie? I would say not in theaters. I would save this for Netflix where you can watch several movies for a flat rate. I really hoped that it would be better. The marketing team destroyed a big plot point in the trailer for the movie. It would have been cool to see a female Jason Bourne. With a different director and better pacing, we could have had that.
