The Bourne Legacy 2012


     This is the 4th installment of the Bourne series based on novels by Robert Ludlum.  Jason Bourne is set-aside in this film to focus on Aaron Cross, he's another member of the Department of Defense special operations groups.  The events take place at the same time of The Bourne Ultimatum (released in 2007).  Bourne gave a top-secret file to CIA Deputy Director Pamela Landy.  She leaked information from this file about two of the special ops groups to the press. The FBI is investigating Landy and also Operation supervisor Noah Vosen.  All of this has everyone in the background on edge about all the groups.  The decision is made to take out all the people in all the ops.
     This goes really fast and I was confused from the beginning about a lot of information.  There are a lot of special operations groups and also groups that other groups don’t know about along the way.  The one thing I know for sure is that in real life if you are an employee of the some of these government agencies, they will throw you under the bus!!  4* (I really liked this movie)

135 min, Action directed by Tony Gilroy and Paul Greengrass with Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton, Rachel Weiz Joan Allen, Scott Glenn, Albert Finney.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.7 out of 10, 56% critic 56% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note:  I think it was wrong of the developers of this franchise to let Matt Damon find out from the grapevine that he was not included in this film.  Couldn’t they show him the courtesy after three films with them to tell him in person?
