Digital dragnet tightens around ‘Jason Bourne’ JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer Jason Bourne, as played by Matt Damon across four movies, is forever disappearing off the grid only to reluctantly resurface years later and again menace the CIA. He’s the spy who came in from the cold only to return to the cold, come in again, and, yet again, head back to the cold. In the chilly and bleak “Jason Bourne,” the amnesiaed assassin has been resurrected again, along with director Paul Greengrass, with whom Damon returns to the franchise after a nine year break. Bourne is still brooding. Greengrass’ hand-held camera is still frenetic. And the saga’s lethal precision is still sharp. The spy game, already far from a martini-sipping affair in previous installments, is resolutely grim in “Jason Bourne.” The superspy, now a hulking mass of bullet-scarred muscle, is spending his days torturing himself in bare-knuckle brawls, haunted by his past. In shattering set-pieces and terse emotionless dialogue, any remaining sunlight has been drained away. The amount of people brazenly killed by Vincent Casell, the “asset” in Bourne’s pursuit, may well outnumber the words spoken by Bourne in the entire film. Though first conceived in

1980 by Robert Ludlum, Bourne is perhaps the ultimate post9/11 hero. Especially in the hands of Greengrass, Bourne is a wrecking ball of accountability for America’s clandestine past. He’s part fantasy (his preternatural control of out-ofcontrol events is reassuring) and part reality (American disillusionment made visceral). In “Jason Bourne,” the digital dragnet is tightening around Bourne. The film is self-consciously set in a postSnowden world; the CIA is hacked by Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles, whose smarts have given all of these films a kick), who’s threatening to reveal the covert Treadstone operation. The film, penned by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse (editor of previous “Bourne” films, and also this one), introduces a tech magnate (Riz Ahmed) whose celebrated social networking platform is secretly feeding information to CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones). In a way, Bourne is himself a leak. He’s a rogue weapon who can’t remember his own encryption code. Here, the mystery he’s trying to solve revolves around his father’s role in his initial recruitment. But aside from updating to today’s surveillance state, “Jason Bourne” largely sticks to the franchise’s familiar moves, and they often don’t

In this image released by Universal Pictures, Matt Damon stars in a scene from the movie “Jason Bourne.” have the same kinetic finesse they used to. Here again are scenes of digging through old CIA documents, breathless stretches of crowded escapes and public rendezvous where Bourne fools lurking agents. The film is essentially sandwiched between two mammoth, extended set pieces: First, a fiery riot in Athens where Bourne comes out of hiding to meet Parsons; and later, a showdown in Las Vegas that brings him back to U.S.

soil. Both outstay their welcome (a vehicle plowing through traffic in Vegas has unfortunate shades of the tragedy in Nice) and the franchise’s propulsion gives way to a pummeling blunt force. The exception is Alicia Vikander, who enters the franchise as the CIA’s cyber ops head and has her own motives of tossing aside the agency’s old guard. Whenever she’s on screen, her steely but agile presence brightens the film’s

dour gaze. Yet even when “Jason Bourne” doesn’t click with the same rhythm as its predecessors, it has a weight that outclasses nearly every other big action movie around. National identity is investigated and violence has repercussions: both astonishing things in a summer blockbuster. But if Bourne re-emerges again, hopefully Greengrass and company can at least give him someone to talk to.

Family keeps hit songwriter Lori McKenna grounded, inspired KRISTIN M. HALL The Associated Press NASHVILLE — Singer-songwriter Lori McKenna now has a Grammy trophy sitting on her piano at her home in Massachusetts, thanks to Little Big Town’s hit song “Girl Crush,” but her five kids still don’t think that makes her cool. “They are impossible to impress,” the 47-year-old McKenna said during a recent interview in Nashville, Tennessee, with a laugh. “But thank God for them, because I would get too much into it and take myself too seriously. If someone wasn’t asking me when dinner was, I think I would be in trouble.” Over her career, which spans back into the late 1990s, she’s written songs for Faith Hill, Alison Krauss, Reba,

Keith Urban and Hunter Hayes in her basement just outside of Boston, between loads of laundry and cooking. But recently she’s been on a successful streak, winning a Grammy this year for best country song for co-writing “Girl Crush” with Liz MCKENNA Rose and Hillary Lindsey. “When you get a Grammy, you’re supposed to drink champagne out of it,” McKenna said. “We were kidding at my house, like we should really eat mac n’ cheese out of this.” On Friday, she released her 10th album, “The Bird & the Rifle,” which includes her version of “Humble & Kind,” a No. 1 hit for country star Tim McGraw that has spawned a music video

collaboration with Oprah Winfrey and even a book that was released this year. “I just wrote it one day when the kids were at school, and I literally was thinking about, ‘Have we told them everything we want to tell them?’” she said. Her kids are really proud of that song because it’s all about them, she said. And she manages to impart advice to her children, such as don’t lie, don’t cheat and don’t steal, without sounding preachy. “The Bird & the Rifle” was produced by Dave Cobb, who helped country singer Chris Stapleton and Americana artist Jason Isbell also pick up Grammys this year, and together they achieve a nostalgic collection of folk-country songs filled with vivid imagery and honest, authentic lyrics. “You always feel like you’ve written a

good song if it feels like an old song,” McKenna said. McKenna’s skill as a songwriter is finding inspiration in the most mundane places, such as on the title track, “The Bird & the Rifle.” She was folding laundry and listening to a rerun of the ABC sitcom “Modern Family” when one of the characters makes a joke about a mother and daughter getting matching tattoos of “a bird and a rifle.” The songwriter turned that punch line into an extended metaphor about the tortured relationship between a woman who wants to spread her wings and the man who wants to keep her close. “I think it makes it cooler in a way that it comes from a joke ’cause itsounds really dark,” McKenna said. “And maybe it is, but she does fly away.”
