{4.5\/5} “Still trying to figure out if you’re supposed to kill me or give me a pep talk.”<\/p>\n
Like Jason Bourne, Aaron is part of a top-secret program run by the CIA. Unfortunately that program is being shut down — which means all operatives are killed. Like Bourne, Aaron is smart, fast — and he doesn’t want to die. But when he runs out of the pills he’s been taking, he needs to go to the source to get more.<\/p>\n
The Bourne Legacy<\/strong> was released in 2012.<\/p>\n If you don’t remember what happened in The Bourne Ultimatum<\/strong>, watch it again before watching this movie — otherwise you’ll be a tad confused.<\/p>\n The three previous Bourne<\/strong> movies are some of the best action movies ever. This one is exciting and action packed but not quite as brilliant as the others.<\/p>\n There were quite a few times where the camera was speeded up, which you don’t usually see these days — I always find this off-putting.<\/p>\n Like Matt Damon, Jeremy Renner is convincing as an action hero.<\/p>\n The music is standard but effective action movie music by James Newton Howard (The Village<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Jeremy Renner (The Avengers<\/strong><\/a>) plays Aaron. Edward Norton (Moonrise Kingdom<\/strong><\/a>) and Rachel Weisz (The Brothers Bloom<\/strong><\/a>) are along for the ride. Donna Murphy (Star Trek: Insurrection<\/strong>) and\u00a0Zeljko Ivanek (the TV show Heroes<\/strong>) have smaller roles.<\/p>\n The movie was directed by Tony Gilroy (director of Duplicity<\/strong>, writer on all three previous Bourne <\/strong>movies).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Still trying to figure out if you’re supposed to kill me or give me a pep talk.” Like Jason Bourne, Aaron is part of a top-secret program run by the CIA.
