HooRay for Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2015)

What a relief! I mean it's a relief to be free of the whole Matt Damon thing. Jason Bourne was rightly retired for this one. And hopefully, the producers will continue with Aaron Cross for at least another film. He's great in this one. He turns in a great performance in the lead. There wasn't an instant that I thought about the previous lead. Moving onto to the second lead Rachel Weisz. She was fantastic. She was very believable in her role as a research scientist. A scientist who caught up in something she has no comprehension of. And unlike some other films where they try to make the female lead a Ninja. Rachel as Dr. Marta Sheering is beautiful, smart, and while can be rattled. She able to recover and aid Aaron Cross in his effort to save himself, and her. There's lots of action in this tense thriller. It involves an agency that has decided to shut down a program. And the effects of this decision are what this movie's about. There's a lot of talent playing subordinate roles in this film. Which further enhances the enjoy of this film. There's been a lot of discussion of the amount of technical jargon used in this film. Some feel that the story is vague and scattered. For my money I thought this was one of the better action thrillers. And the caliber of acting elevates the story. And gives you characters you really come to care for. And you want to see them safe. There have many big films that don't give you a hero that in the end you really care about. I'm Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz fan from now on. I'll be going back though their work to see what else I've missed. I was surprised. I didn't see this film until three years after it was released. And I loved it.
