Blade Runner without the set design, cinematography or science fiction

Rating: 5/10 (4 January 2017)

I haven't watched more than 5 minutes total of the three previous Bourne movies so I couldn't care less whether this one does or doesn't star Matt Damon or whether it continues the story properly. So no biases. I just watched this movie. I see ''Improved'' ''humans'' who have outlived their usefulness/become a menace. Different people are called in to shut them/the program down. Violent interactions result in many dead. There's even a brief bit about 2/3 of the way through where Ed Norton's character is watching tape of Renner's character being asked a series of questions. ''Is this a test?'' Renner's character asks. Renner is essential a Nexus-6 replicant. Ed Norton is a blade runner. Everything else is window dressing. I give it a 5 b/c it's a half-decent adrenaline rush, but 15 minutes after it's over you won't remember a thing. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
