I saw the new Bourne movie last week and I didn't want to post about it until I saw it again because I honestly fell asleep during a part of the beginning, so I felt bad not knowing the full movie. Renner is another Bourne agent that, standard, the CIA tries to kill in Alaska (or somewhere shitty cold because I was asleep). They fail, he gets angry and needs his medication to keep going. The lab they manufacture the chemicals at is attacked by one of the chemists who kills everyone except Rachel Weisz. Renner gets to her house ASAP to recover her so he can get his chemicals and stay smart. That's the premise, he isn't trying to rectify wrongs, or get back his life, so it's not as good of a story right out the gates. Pam Landry is trying to get after the Treadstone/Brownbriar factions in court to get all the secrets out in the open. The bad men try to frame her as a traitor looking at things she doesn't understand above her pay grade. That doesn't go very far, Renner is very good in the action scenes and overall, but he's not Damon. It progresses the story, I do need to watch it again after checking out the Bourne Ultimatum to really get the feel for it.
Bottom line: 7.2 out of 10. It's still good and I feel like I would've enjoyed it more if I didn't miss parts, but it isn't as good as the other Bourne movies, that is apparent.
