Films in 100: The Bourne Legacy (2012)

The Bourne Legacy (Tony Gilroy, 2012)

Starring: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weiss and Edward Norton.

The beginning was a bit befuddling due to my ignorance to the set of of the Bourne films. Once the film got going it was quite good fun, with Jeremy Renner making a great action hero. However, the plot remained one dimensional throughout, charting Renner's escape and his quest for survival, eventually closing without a final act. The ending fight sequence was not spectacular enough to carry the end of the film, leaving me incredibly dissatisfied with the end product. Yes, it left me wanting more, not because it was so good, but because the story they were telling had not yet finished.

2/5
