The Bourne Legacy

Tali: The Bourne Legacy is the latest installment in the Bourne series, replacing Matt Damon with Jeremy Renner. The film picks up from the Bourne Ultimatum with various US Intelligence branches attempting to fix the mess created in the previous series. I am not super into action films, and I find that the Bourne series (particularly this one), holds a great balance between political drama and action thriller. What I actually liked best about this film is the emphasis on the political scheming and that this film places in comparison to the others. It definitely gets the audience closer to finally (??) figuring out the mystery that is Bourne, Treadstone, etc etc..

Leo: While I'm sure many of the hardcore Bourne fans did not like this movie as much as the other Bourne movies, make no mistake, this is a Bourne movie. It does not have as much heart racing action packed fighting and chase scenes but it almost makes the scenes in which there are tons of action and awesomely choreographed scenes that much more intense. I really like how we sort of have some realism behind the apparent "super soldier" aspect of Bourne and the new character. More specifically, I like how it finally makes sense to me why he's really that good at everything. Edward Norton is an amazing actor and is a great villain. He really just looks like the guy who would be running that operation. All in all the reviews do not do it justice, this movie is pretty fucking good.
