one of my films of the year

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2012)

Jeremy Renner is having an amazing year. With Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, The Avengers and now effortlessly replacing Matt Damon as the lead in the Bourne series. Renner excels in them all. He is a better screen fighter than Damon and much more engaging. To be honest I always found Matt Damon's acting style a little "dry" for my taste.
The rest of the cast are all good with special mention of Rachel Weis as the Dr who becomes entangled in the deadly world of espionage.
Also for the first time since Identity you can see what is going on in the action sequences, with the climactic motorbike scenes captivating.
Hopefully Renner, Weis and director Gilroy will return for another instalment. Personally I can't wait.
