Looking for a spy thriller? Look no
further!
The Bourne Legacy is out in a couple of weeks and I am
über-excited for it. Normally a change up of the lead actor in a
series would really deter me, but I’ve got to say I am quite pleased with their
choice of Jeremy Renner. This may not be the biggest blockbuster
of the summer but I’m eagerly awaiting it!
Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is a man on the run without any
recollection of who he is running from or why. With a target on
his back he investigates any clue he can to discover his true identity.
The search leads him to a Swiss bank which reveals he is a trained
assassin for the CIA and he slowly begins to put the puzzle pieces
together. Seeking transportation to evade his chasers, Bourne
enlists the help of down and out Marie (Franka Potente) who is just desperate
enough to help him.
A baby faced Matt Damon plays a highly trained but somewhat
vulnerable Bourne. Potente, an attractive women but not an over
the top beauty, like we usually see in other spy films, was a smart choice as
leading lady. The action is enhanced by Bourne’s skillful martial
arts style fighting and a couple of adrenaline pumping car chase scenes, and the
cat-and-mouse games that he plays with the CIA. The camera work,
the grey and wintry overtone, the authentic European locations, and the intense
action leads off this thrilling series of movies. If you haven’t
given this one a chance be sure to and check out the others also, I loved them
all!
Motherly Advice: Language, blasphemy, a steamy kissing scene
and scenes with bloodier violence will be cut with filters set to “Most
Filtering”. Intense moments of action are what a spy movie is all
about and you will get plenty of it. Use of guns and physical
confrontations that can lead to deaths are the name of the game, and honestly if
all of it was filtered out it would really take away from the feel of the
movie. For violence I would recommend ages 14 and up.
