Interesting approach, impossible execution

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2013)

Plot line is this: Aaron Cross is another super-soldier, just like Jason Bourne. The Treadstone program is going to be exposed and possibly shut down, so all people affiliated with the program (including Cross) are being wiped out. So, Cross needs his super-soldier drugs to stay alive, so he steals a plane and flies from Alaska to Chicago, then rescues one of the lab agents from sudden death, then they go to Manila to get him his fix. Throw in some impossible high- speed chases and shoot-outs, hand-to-paw fights with wolves in the wilderness, innocent people being executed in a mass shooting, a weird conflict with another UNKNOWN super- soldier and you've got this movie.
The story is wayyyy too complicated from the get-go, to the point where you just had to stop thinking and "enjoy" the cartoonishness of this film.
I like Jeremy Renner as an actor, and thought he was exceptional in The Hurt Locker and MI: Ghost Protocol, but this movie was not one of his better roles.
