I like the Bourne movies, mostly. They have their moments of wanna-be intense filming through chase scenes that make you almost nauseous with the bouncy camera, but on the whole, they're pretty good, and fun! This newest installment, though without Matt Damon, or Jason Bourne, is still good. Part of that might be because I have a thing for Jeremy Renner and that Rachel Weiss is one of my favorite actresses, but I'll try to be unbiased.
This one is a little bit different because it does not involve Jason Bourne, but I think you learn more about his whole sordid history that way. In this, we learn more about how far the conspiracy and the super-spies go. There are even more programs that we thought, surprise! There's even something new and supposedly better out there too, so these movies may never end! Just like Eric Van Lustbader continues to write the stories under the deceased Robert Ludlum at the expense of his own fascinating series. BUT, I digress.......
If you're looking for a good action movie that will hold your attention with questions, intrigue, and even a little bit of romance a la Bourne 1, then this is the movie for you! If you wanted some amazing story that cleared up everything about the dirty government behind Jason Bourne and his legacy, haha, then this is probably not the movie for you. I still want to know more about why this program was started, by whom, and just really how far it goes. So, I guess I should read the books? That's what they're for you know. Movies cannot possibly capture everything a book can, especially when the book was written before the movie. BUT, once again, I digress.
This kept my attention while I was watching it, it was fun, suspenseful, and full of action scenes and Jeremy Renner being a bamf, but I don't think I will own this either. The chase scenes with the really shaky camera and what-not are just too much sometimes. Also, Jeremy Renner was never shirtless!
In the end, I give this a 7 out of 10, it was good, not great.
