The one where they find the steady cam button.

Well.... sort of.

I am a big fan of the first Bourne film and really can't stand the follow ups due to Greengrass' shaky cam fetish. This probably had an influence on my rating of this film, but to say that was the main reason is selling this film short.

I didn't really expect much from it and that's mainly due to the trailer. It hinted at an action packed chase film, with the 'new Bourne' running around like a super human soldier. I can honestly say that this trailer is incredibly misleading as what we really get is a dialogue heavy, well directed and well acted thriller that is engaging…

Lacking the stylistic visual flair, kinetic action, charged atmosphere, sense of urgency, hyperactive camerawork, cut-throat editing & almost everything that made The Bourne Trilogy an intensely entertaining ride of non-stop thrills, The Bourne Legacy is an uninspiring & unnecessary fourth chapter that's quite inferior to its predecessors in every department of filmmaking.

Taking place concurrently with the events of The Bourne Ultimatum, the story of The Bourne Legacy concerns Aaron Cross; an assassin-in-training for CIA who goes on the run for his life after the clandestine exposure of their operations in previous movies forces the secret agency to shut down all active operations & terminate every associated member within it with immediate effect.

With Paul Greengrass not returning to direct, it's the screenwriter…

I really dug the storytelling in this one running parallel with parts of the original trilogy, thought that was really cool. I thought this got off to a slower start compared to the others but eventually picked up similar to the previous installments. Really dug the score for this one too just like the previous ones. 

Much more loaded cast in this one too. Rachel Weisz’ performance was great plus her American accent was particularly impressive in this, barely even recognized her. Jeremy Renner is no Matt Damon (but to be fair kind of a tough act to follow anyway) but I still thought he was awesome. As was Edward Norton. & had no clue Oscar Isaac was in this, always…

"We are the sin eaters. It means that we take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us, so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible, and absolutely necessary."

Remember the great Mini Cooper chase scene in Bourne Identity? The apartment fight and toaster bomb in Supremacy? The rooftop chases in Ultimatum? What is memorable about Bourne Legacy, apart from the divergence in casting? I certainly hope it's not when Rachel Weisz becomes hysterical with that lady psychologist, because that's what I remembered most distinctly about it this second time through, and not in a good way. Why is it that…
