Movie Review: "Bourne Legacy" (3 Stars)

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
By Steven Rea

I can't complain about The Bourne Legacy - it's smart, it's exhilarating, and Gilroy's depiction of a high-tech world where our every move is captured by surveillance cams and Big Brother-types deploying the latest spyware feels authentic, and troubling. (The idea of going off-grid gets more attractive by the minute.) Renner slips into the skin of Aaron Cross. He's keenly cognizant of his place in the world, of the danger he is in, and confident in his abilities to survive. And that's what Legacy is ultimately about: survival. Survival of the fittest, of the fastest. And the likely survival of the Bourne franchise, too. [link]
