Poor writing, directing and cinematography. I cannot for the life of me imagine why this film has such a high score. The camera work and editing look like they were the result of cocaine induced seizure, the writing pivots between laughably implausible to ridiculously contrived. Expect everything from the first two films to be cranked up to eleven. From the nausea inducing shaky cam, to the 50 cuts per minute fight scenes that are impossible to follow.
The most egregious example of the dramatic decrease in writing is where Bourne purposefully gives his position away for the sake of a one liner, then spends the next 20 minutes being just a few seconds ahead of his pursuers for no other reason. In the previous two films the bad guys motivation was pretty clear and believable however here they introduce new characters who were not even hinted at before and are just there for the sake of making more money from the franchise.
Another example of the poor writing is to make the character of Nicki now a potential love interest with no setup whatso ever.
If you really are a fan of switching your brain off and expect nothing from your action films, this is for you. If however you expect the plot to make sense and characters to follow reasonable behaviour with setup and pay off then give this a miss. An appallingly bad end to the trilogy and obviously a quick cash grab with no creativity or thought put into it.
