When seen liaising with his team in London, Tommy Lee Jones' character is seen on the phone in his Virginia home at night. London is 4 or 5 hours ahead of Virginia during the year and the London images suggest full daylight. Is Jones up in the wee early hours at his den desk with his car detail on standing alert?

User Reviews

A worthy successor to the Bourne universe

Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne, This time he's well aware of who he is and he is determined to expose the government's secrets, As the intelligence agencies from Interpol to the CIA are in pursuit, Greengrass delivers a movie that is both intelligent and intense. Which sadly is what seems to be lacking in recent movies, But as we witnessed in his previous work, Greengrass only builds upon his work. Adding depth to the story and instead of investing his money on CGI, he focuses his lens on a more pressing issue, Which in this case is Bourne. What took me by surprise was Alicia Vikander. I am one of the few people that haven't seen "The Danish Girl", So her performance in this came as quite a pleasant surprise. If you enjoyed the previous installments of the Bourne series, Then you can take a breath of fresh air, As Greengrass does what he has done all too well before, As he brings out yet another successor to a growing series.
