Hawk Spy!

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2020)

After recently rewatching the Bourne trilogy I decided to give the later Bourne movies a chance first is the 2012 movie The Bourne Legacy which I didn't get around to watching when it was released mainly because Matt Damons character wasn't in the movie and instead the movie focuses on Jeremy Renners character so I wasn't sold on the idea.
The story isn't very original it's just a rehash of the Bourne Ultimatum just with a few details changed to make it seem new and exciting but honestly Renners character Aaron Cross isn't really given any backstory or character development by the end of the movie we know as much about his character as we did at the start of the movie even his characters motivations are backwards instead of him trying to get revenge for his attempted assassination by bringing down those responsible as part of a corrupt CIA instead all he wants are the pills that enhance his mind and body then just disappear I found myself disliking Renners character more and more as the movie progressed which is a shame as I think Jeremy Renner is a great actor but in this movie he's sadly not given a lot to work with.
There are some pretty good action scenes in the movie that make Jeremy Renner look badass so while the story isn't all that great I will give the movie credit that it does deliver on the action.
(Jeremy Renner) and (Rachel Weisz) are the best part of the movie and have great chemistry on set they both bring their A game in this movie. The movie also "Stars" (Edward Norton) as a retired Colonel who's called in to hunt them down and destroy all evidence of the CIAs involvement in operation Treadstone and Blackbriar. Norton has about fifteen minutes of screen time throughout the movie and all he really does is shout out exposition dialogue nothing more.
I would recommend watching this movie if your looking for a half decent action movie to pass the time with but just don't expect it to be as good as the original Bourne movies because you will probably be a bit disappointed.
