The Absence of Damon and Greengrass won't go Unnoticed,

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2015)

The Bourne Legacy is a decent movie with a reasonably well developed storyline and a terrific cast. It's an action packed adventure with some very intense moments that proved that there is still interesting stories to tell in the Bourne universe, Jeremy Renner shines in the lead role and his scenes with Rachel Weisz are certainly the best moments in the movie. It's certainly not as compelling as the previous films, they managed to be an intense thriller, while still taking time out to develop its characters and form a relationship between them, that is not evident as much here, it is mostly just an action thriller that dosen't take enough time outs, Paul Greengrass was great at this and his absence in directing this film won't go unnoticed. Several characters were very underdeveloped, over the the course of the first three Bourne films we learn so much about Matt Damon's character, we don't get as much with Renner in this movie, he starts off as a blank canvas and the audience is intrigued to learn his story, but by the end of the film we could have learned much more about Aaron Cross, I also thought Edward Norton's character could have had more screen time, he's very interesting when he's on screen, and plays an important role for the first half of the movie, but shortly after it's almost like he's completely forgotten about. It has its moments but it certainly isn't as entertaining as the previous Bourne films, still the Bourne Legacy is worth the watch if you ever see it on television and are looking for a good action, but don't go out of your way to see it.
An assassin goes on the run when the CIA decide to eliminate all evidence of his programme.
Best Performance: Jeremy Renner Worst Performance: Corey Stoll
