This is the 4th installment in the Bourne movie series and it is great. Bill rated it a 10 and i gave it a 9 only because the chase scene at the very end was shot in a herky-jerky blurry manner - like a disco ball gone mad - and it made me dizzy because i couldn't focus on anything.
I was disappointed when i learned that Matt Damon wouldn't be appearing in this movie but Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, another super bionic spy, is perfect for the role. I liked him just as much as Damon. and Rachel Weisz as the chief scientist who does the periodic exams of the super spies and is privy to the scientific basis behind the virus and chromosome manipulation that gives these spies their power and high intelligence is also wonderful in her role.
The opening scene in which Aaron has to find his way out of the Alaskan wilderness and accidentally comes upon another spy sent away in exile is absolutely awesome. and then there's another scene where some government spooks come into Weisz's home to question her about what she knows about her job and what ensues is really tense and edge-of-the-seat. At this time the spy program is being shut down and so orders have come out that all the people involved in the project must be "put down".
Great entertaining movie and it ends with the perfect set-up for the next Bourne film.
