The Bourne Legacy
Director: Tony Gilroy
Stars: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton
On the weekend I decided to go to the cinema and watch 'Bourne Legacy'. Having not watched the previous 3 Bourne movies, I was rather apprehensive about watching this one. I had seen the poster which is displayed on the right and I wasn't too motivated to watch it. I can now tell you, after watching it how wrong I was.
As for this modern day thriller, it is a bit scrappy and all over the place to begin with but as it went on it became more and more clearer what was going on. It has plenty of energy and drive. It is entertaining when Cross, surrounded by wolves in the Alaskan wilderness, finds an elegant way of repositioning the tracking device that is allowing government assassins to find him. It is not simply that the US government wants to kill him; he needs to keep taking the mysterious pills to continue at the Nietzschean level of super-fitness to which he has grown accustomed to.
It was an incredible film for me to watch and by doing Media Studies, I looked at the film in a way I haven't looked at films before. I was able to appreciate the variety of shots and continuity editing. I really did enjoy this film and would highly recommend it.
