Its no Bourne movie when it comes to thrills

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2012)

The first thirty minutes of this is certainly no Bourne movie. It's slow and tedious and I defy anyone to understand what they are talking about. Eventually it swings into action and it turns out its pretty much the same as every other Bourne movie. The chase scenes are exhilarating but cranky husband reminded me that we've seen it all before in recent Bond movies. Renner is a dull Bourne and not a patch on Matt Damon. In fact, I haven't liked him in anything so far. However, despite a limp beginning and ending it was an okay thriller. Don't go looking for substance or anything nearly as good as the earlier versions and you will be happy.
