Another Good Installment

Rating: 6/10 (9 February 2013)

So who is the best Bourne anyways – Chamberlain, Damon or Renner – who knows, who cares. This is not Bond – its Jason Bourne. I remember reading, 'The Bourne Identity', when it first came out in paperback. The book was great, but I saw no reason to continue the series after the first show. All three actors did a good job and threw their own personalities into the respective stories. I think the 'Legacy' was no more than a continuation of the original story. Let's see, bad ole government project runs amok and a few bad apples try to cover up their mistakes. Bourne is the only smidgen of goodness left in the entire intelligence community and he will make decades of bad – turn to good – during the final five minutes of the movie. The stories about Jason are pretty much all the same. I mean I expect that from a Bourne Movie, no more, no less. Bottom line, the quality of a Bourne flick can only be measured by how well the obvious is executed. That being said, I liked the movies about Jason Bourne, including this one. Matt Damon was fun to watch, Richard Chamberlain was the first and he did an interesting job and Jeremy Renner did a very good job. If they plan to string this story on for some more episodes, I think Renner is an excellent choice to carry the torch. Good movie
