Bourne Free.....

Rating: 4/10 (28 September 2012)

Jason Bourne, former Treadstone operative got several files on Treadstone and Black Briar and gave it to Pamela Landy who them passed it to the media.
When the men behind Treadstone and Black Briar learn of this, they're concerned how this will affects other ops they have. They decide it's best to shut down all ops and make sure make everyone involved disappear.
They try to take out Aaron Cross who is part of another op called Outcome, but he manages to survive.
He then seeks out Dr. Marta Shearing who treated him. It seems part of the program is for all subjects to take medication but he has no more, which is why he needs her. When someone tries to kill her, he saves her but she tells him he should have stopped taking the meds long ago.
I never had high hopes for this movie. I saw it nothing more than a blatant cash in of a very good trilogy. And I was so right.
It's not Weiszs or remmers fault they are very good (even if Remmer does appear to be too friendly), it's the writers trying to be too clever and place more characters in the movie than needed.
There was one point in the movie where I thought it was going to be a very good thriller, from the scene where the scientist loses it and goes on a killing spree, right up to the point where the two agents were going to kill Weisz at home.
Then Remmer bursts out of a door, and I think the actual credibility of the film left the house with the draft.
Norton must have a new project on the go, because he has to be doing this for the cheque. The secret meetings in the dark rooms from the original movies were thrilling, here its just constipated looking men being worried.
The action never really gets going until the last fifteen, and although its choreographed well, you're too bored to care about what happens.
It's not a great vehicle for remmer, and in my opinion it's one of the biggest disappointments of the summer, even though I had doubts.
Stick with the original trilogy.
