Review: The Bourne Legacy

Review: The Bourne Legacy
*Spoilers Alert


Jeremy Renner in "The Bourne Legacy"
    'There was never Just One' , on This Line is what Universal Studios relied on for this 4th chapter of "The Bourne" series. "Jeremy Renner" plays "Aarone Crosse" an agent who is trying to flee away from a group from the department of defense, who are trying to kill traces leading to Operation Outcome. And during his adventure he meets "Rachel Weiz"'s character "Dr. Marta Shearing" ,who is related to the Outcome Operation. They team up together to help each other.
     I really liked 85% of the movie. I liked how it wasn't a reboot but a continuation to what happened at the end of "The Bourne Ultimatum", though the story could have been much better. "Jeremy" and "Rachel" had onscreen chemistry and there acting was superb,which was one of the reason allowed to like the movie. There was some kind of cohesion between the different scenes. The three main action scenes (Alaska, East Coast of US, and Manila) were choreographed , directed and edited , although the Manila sequence could have been a little bit more edited.
Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weiz
     Now for the 15% that i didn't like.The 'science' conversation between "Jeremy" and "Rachel" character was a little bit too much. Personally "Edward Norton" character could have been more explored and his past between his character and "Jeremy"'s could have been explained more. Sometimes I thought the fight and action scenes were a bit too much. Finally , I wasn't a fan of the ending of the film and how the chase scene ended.
     Overall it was a good movie but one that may have fell to the expectation of many ;nonetheless, a good film, which i encourage anyone who like grounded, somehow realistic and good acting movies to watch.
