The lengths a man would go

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2013)

The lengths a man would go to get his drugs. Movie started out great, similar to the original Bourne trilogy. Good action and chase scenes. Casting of Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz were spot on. I'm a fan of Rachel Weisz and plan on watching most of her films. Only gripe I have with this film is the storyline. Renner's character, Aaron Cross, wants to stay alive and tracks down Weisz just to save his own behind. But he doesn't want to just live, he wants to live with all of his enhancements by way of his medications. It's best explained with the backstory of Aaron Cross. Before the super-soldier Outcome program, he had an IQ of like 5 and as a result of the program and the medication he takes, his IQ is significantly better. He runs out of his medication while he's out in the field training and to prevent himself from becoming stupid again, he goes to great lengths to track down more meds. In the process, he saves Weisz' life. The end. Great story... Good action flick for my dad who doesn't really understand complex plot lines and enjoys pure action.
