Potential Unfulfilled.

Rating: 3/10 (13 September 2012)

When I 1st heard that Tony Gilroy was directing the talented Jeremy Renner in a new Bourne movie, I thought that the Bourne series was going to Rock all over again. After watching the movie I'm thinking, What a waste of a good actor and decent subject material!! OK, Renner did the best he could given te scope of his character, as did Rachel Weisz and the other supporting actors. However, The screenplay should have been a lot more exciting given the script. The build up was tense and made me excited to see what would happen next. I waited. And I waited. And when things started happening in Manila, I thought I was watching a B-grade JCVD movie or something! I mean come on! A stronger faster super soldier? That was all they could come up with as a finale for a respectable spy series?? Did the writers watch a Cheesy B-grade movie marathon when they were thinking up of the story? Very disappointing. Matt Damon and director Doug Liman chose wisely to stay away from this mess. And the "critics" who think this is a smart thriller methinks are deluding themselves!
