User Review

Carrying on the Bourne Legacy

Rating: 10/10

I walked into the screening theatre with a bit of apprehension. I confess I am a big Matt Damon fan. He did a tremendous job as Jason Bourne in the previous three episodes. However Jeremy Renner is a refreshingly pleasant surprise as the new agent. He is a great actor who has tremendous screen presence and energy. Rachel Weisz as Dr. Snyder is outstanding. Ed Norton as Byer does not have too many lines but his expressions show why he is such a great actor. The story is excellent and so is Tony Gilroy's direction. The action scenes will keep you at the edge of your seats. The finale on the streets of Manila is aligned with the previous three Bourne movies. The locations chosen are perfect. The cinematography is grabbing especially the scenes which were shot in Alberta, Canada. The Bourne Legacy is a must see not only for the Bourne fans but also for those who love a good story and good action movies. I am going to watch it again and pay for it when it is released in August. It's well worth it!
