Car chases and foot races, we've seen this all before.

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2012)

Car chases and foot races; boring! we've seen it in dozens of other movies - since the 1930's at least (when they were better done.) I swear that whole scenes in this movie have been lifted from other films. Merely having a few good actors (Renner, Weisz, Norton) in the movie cannot turn this sow's ear into a silk purse. Watching this film wasn't even painless (especially a mass murder scene that could have been lifted directly from today's headlines), but it most definitely was brainless. It also seems to have been made with a sharp eye on its budget. It's just less expensive to shoot parts of the film in an East Asian slum.
And why is the great actor Albert Finney making a cameo appearance in this movie. Is he doing someone a favor, or is he down and out?
I wonder what they are going to call the next sequel in this series, "The Bourne Repetition"?
