Famous novel by Robert Ludlum's "The Bourne series" is revived in the cinema by the release of the new expansion of which I hope to be another trilogy, The Bourne Legacy. Jeremy Renner stars as one of the trained assasins which is under the Bourne experiment. In this film, not being able to read the books, I knew that Jason Bourne wasn't the only one which went under and is still undergoing the said experiment.
Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) finds the rest house for the assasins in training at a snow covered hut and figured out a way to get out of the system. But that was not the thing he needed, he also needed to take out the system in him as well. He finds Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), a doctor who survived the assassination of all the doctors involved in the Bourne project and convinces her to help him relieve from the drugs he needed to take.
The movie was really entertaining and was a bit cut short, or I just really enjoyed it so much that I didn't noticed the time. When it ended I was just confused with the climax that I had to say to myself "maybe there is a sequel to this?" because it was really a big cliff hanger. The shots in the Philippines was great, it really showed the slums in Sta Ana area and also the crowded streets of Manila which made it outstanding with the chase scenes. If you didn't knew the area, you be amazed to how they managed to go through the traffic so easily and also the side street chases that happened. But if you knew all the places, you'd find yourself wondering how they were able to manage to be on another different area so fast ^_^
I really loved the movie so much! It was really funny when my fiance was looking for the shot of El Nido, I told her the last shot was it. She went "but it really looked beautiful?", the movie shows the ups and downs of the Philippines but we should never ever get stuck with just the ugly part, we should also realize that there are also a lot of places in our country that are beautiful as well.
