Not bad, and a plot for the next Bourne film...

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2012)

A derivative of Treadstone technology is being circulated on the steroid black market by a drug cartel with some high profile wins by previously unknown athletes, and also some bad side effects. They are using it to fix matches and get huge pay offs.
The film follows an FBI agent following the case. (Or what ever US gov. agency suits. Or perhaps an Interpol agent and it's based in Europe) The Cartel is only the tail of the python. A foreign power (like N. Korea) has active program that copies Treadstone and it was corruption within the ranks of this that gave the Cartel the technology. The special agent must team up with Bourne (or Cross) to take down the enemy program.
There is an interesting hunting/hunted operation action scene, similar to the previous movies with a twist - as the special agent leads an operation center with Bourne out in the field. He's not being hunted but working with a full team, and taking on multiple enhanced enemy agents at once.
While there is respect between Bourne and the special agent, the special agent is envious of Bourne's enhancements and that of those he is up against. Bourne tells him he has no idea what the true cost of such enhancements are. And he later reveals the Treadstone drugs needs to be taken while undergoing extreme conditioning and the drop out rate (ie. mortality rate) was 4/5.
After they've eliminated the source of the Treadstone copy meds, they discover another derivative of the mind enhancement drug (so called "blues") is being sold exclusively to Chinese elites to give them an edge over their international competitors. This looks bad and an almost impossible problem to stop. The special agent feels kind of defeated until he confirms that the same thing is occurring in his country and in the ruling class around the world
The special agent is offered the same meds/viral treatment under the condition he stays silent about the whole thing. Faced with a difficult moral dilemma he ends up putting the viral treatment into the water supply (or somewhere suitable) so everyone has a chance to be infected.
