I liked this. Very Bond-like with lots of action and violence and a long, compelling chase scene. Strong and intense acting by
Jeremy Renner who has been doing some highly $uccessful movies recently (
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol). And
Rachel Weisz, who is hard to take your eyes off, is very effective (though she was 'awkward' in
Definitely, Maybe). (And, speaking of Bond, she is apparently the real-life-wife of
Daniel Craig.) Lots of references to and pictures of the character Jason Bourne (
Matt Damon), leading many critics to speculate that he could still return in a future instalment.
Lovely scenes shot in Alberta (which is supposed to be Alaska) and a story that becomes somewhat clearer 2/3 of the way through (I think...). An interesting series, as were the
Robert Ludlum books. I found I was tense throughout much of the film - not sure if I'd rush to see this again.
