Synopsis: Aaron Cross (Renner) is an agent belonging to another programme, but with similar objectives, as Jason Bourne. The actions of this latter will precipitate the closure of all such programmes.
Review: The action in this movie takes place at the same time as The Bourne Ultimatum and Jeremy Renner was cleverly chosen not to replace Matt Damon as Bourne but to play a different character. Then the movie follows the same rules as the three previous: conspiracy, a super agent that everybody wants dead, a woman involved, chases by foot on rooftops and by car in foreign cities (in this case motorbike in Manila). All of this filmed in a way to always have very dynamic action. The rythmic music during some tense scenes was very well chosen. I liked all those similarities to the previous films and the time taken to introduce the characters, but not the too long final chase and the abrupt way the movie ends, begging for a sequel. Also the role of Norton as "the boss of the nasty guys" turns out to be useless.
Rating: 7 /10
