Tony Gilroy is a better action director than Greengrass

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2012)

Ignore the damon obsessives who spend all their time posting fake negative reviews of this movie. The Bourne Legacy is superior to 90% of modern action movies and better than much of Damon's Bourne trilogy. There are several reasons for this: Jeremy Renner is a better actor than Matt damon, rachel Wise is a much better actress than Julia Stiles or famka whoever, but most importantly Tony Gilroy has an overall vision for this franchise which is second to none. He knows exactly where this series is going and how to get it there.
his direction of the action scenes is better than Greengrass' too- at least on a par with Doug Liman's. Better editing, better framing, less shakycam. he also gives Cross intelligent, resourceful, capable and motivated opponents unlike braindead filler like the Expendables 2 which provides its has been heroes with vast armies of dead meat to slaughter carelessly. Love this film, buying the DVD, waiting for Bourne 5
