Under the name of Bourne’s legacy, the fourth film of the Bourne Shadows is still shrouded in Bourne’s halo. The film is very tragically stuck in the awkward situation of wanting to stand on its own, but unable to jump out of the frame of the previous work, although it is advertised. It is the sequel to the fourth part of Bourne Shadows, but it is not up to standard in terms of content and quality. In terms of content, this "Bourne's Legacy" can only be regarded as a side work of the Byrne series. In terms of quality, The fourth part can't squeeze into the sequence of the first three classics. As a great action film series, the first three classic combinations of Matt Damon, Paul Greengrass and Dougliman are really popular, and accepting the new combination will naturally make people compare them. The screenwriters of the four Bourne films are all Tony Gilroy, and Tony Gilroy happened to be the director of the fourth film, so in terms of the structure and content of the script, the fourth film is extremely similar. Although the third part is a new secret agent story, the story is basically a fried rice. It is just a repetitive incident parallel to the first three Byrne.
In fact, the so-called Byrne’s legacy has nothing to do with Byrne except for a few photos of Byrne’s ID in the film. This is completely a story of a new agent. Although it is a new story, the story itself is old-fashioned and repeated. The story of the resurrected agent fighting the wits and courage of the secret service agency, without Matt Damon, without Paul Greengrass, even if Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz perform hard, it cannot be repeated. The glory of Byrne, the fast-paced and hard-core style of the first three Byrne series was not inherited in the fourth part. The first 30 minutes were messy and the whole film was slightly procrastinated. Jill, who switched from screenwriter to director, Roy is mediocre and feeble, unable to compare with the two directors of the first three films. Paul Greengrass' sharp lens style, Gilroy obviously can't learn, and the scripts he manages are far worse than his previous ones. With three screenplays, it can be said that he is neither a good director nor a good screenwriter. Jeremy's performance in the film is acceptable, but it is still difficult to shake Matt Damon's status in the Bourne Shadow series. In the literary scenes, this fourth part also seems to be very procrastinated. The first three parts of Byrne’s style is less talking and fighting more, using a sharp lens to speak, and the fourth part seems to have too much talk. You need to know a good screen agent. It is not blown out, but reflected by action. Speaking of action, the design of the fourth fighting scene is also relatively mediocre. Although Klaus knocked a small pill, he was inferior to Berne in terms of reaction and fighting hardcore. For one thing, if Klaus is sent by the organization to hunt down Byrne, it is estimated that he can only become an unnamed kid at the feet of Berne's hard-line fist.
If "Bourne's Legacy" is separated from the series of Byrne, it is actually not that bad. On the whole, it is still a pass-through action film. The motorcycle chase at the end of the paragraph is also remarkable. But since he is playing the name of Byrne, it is really intolerable for Qieji to pull the whole series. From the plot, rhythm, editing to the fighting design, the advantages of the first three parts are not inherited. The whole story can be simply summarized as the agent who was hit by the life and death charm and the beautiful pharmacist went to Manila for an injection, and he dared to play shamelessly at the end of the film. Byrne’s exclusive Extreme Ways are intolerable. In addition to Byrne himself, there are many excellent supporting villains in the Byrne series, but the Asian killer in this film is too weak. He was kicked by an unarmed woman and the movie entered hastily. end. In fact, you can make a lot of money to set up a new drama. Why sacrifice the first fame of the entire Bourne series and squander the precious legacy of the Hobborn series to the action film genre.
In fact, the image of Byrne is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people not only because of his fists and feet, but more importantly, the unique temperament of this agent, a lonely force struggling in cruel reality, a spirit that penetrates reality but is persevering, just like The classic ending Extreme Ways wrote: "The endless road helps me to travel in the middle of the night. I have been to the farthest place but never see the light. I travel through the dirty basement and the dirty land. I am lonely in the vast world. Going forward, I will not follow the steps. I am willing to wait for this. There is always a chance in my life to split the darkness. I don't want to say anything. I have never given up the light." This lyrics writes the soul of Byrne. , This kind of temperament and spirit is the most important factor that creates the classic role of Byrne. Agents without souls can never inherit the true Bourne spirit. Abandoning clichéd stories and procrastinating rhythms, "Bourne's Legacy" loses most in spirit. "The Bourne Shadow 4" loses Bourne's spirit. Routh is just a soulless pipeline screen agent. And it's still filled with water.
Standing on the shoulders of giants and doing business, you can climb high or fall miserably. "The Bournemouth 4" has a swollen nose and swollen face. Under the vague and obnoxious face, we can no longer see the angular faces of the past. , And this can only make us miss the previous face even more.
