A decent spy movie; confusing at first

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2012)

At the beginning of the movie I was a little lost when they referred to terms from previous movies in the Bourne series. I didn't know how much I was supposed to remember from those movies in order to enjoy this one.
Turns out, very little. The main reason I was lost was because the plot was not fully explained until later in the movie. If you don't like to be temporarily lost, then read the rest of this paragraph for a hint on what's going on. Turns out the government is performing drug experiments on live human subjects.
Most of the thrills of this movie come from the escapes and chases. And most of those scenes are pretty good. However, there are too many cuts in the motorcycle chases, making them look dizzying and fake.
This movie can actually just stand on its own since it is not really related to the previous Bourne series. The "Bourne" name is used just for marketing reason.
