"Bourne Legacy" is not very well-received on the Internet, so I have always been cautious before going to the cinema, just asking not to play it. The whole Bourne collection is just fine.
The whole film is more like a complement and expansion of the first three plots, a more comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the horror and concealment of the "Stumbling Block Project".
Jason Bourne has always been a god-like figure in The Stumbling Block Project. And Jeremy Renner's No. 5 agent, Aaron Cross, doesn't always have a stern face like Bourne (Matt Damon grinned no more than 5 times in the first three films). Aaron is more funny and more like a lover of mortals. Compared with Bourne, he has more unknown pasts, painful memories, and neat skills, no less than Bourne.
In addition, I think the performance of the heroine Rachel Weisz is very good. She shouts Aaron's name loudly every time she is in distress during the escape, which makes people move. Especially when the hotel in the Philippines was discovered by the police, Marta Shearing, played by Rachel Weisz, made a hoarse cry to help Aaron escape, which was particularly impressive. From being suspicious of Aaron when he was killed, to gradually relying on Aaron when he was hunted down, and then to taking care of Aaron when his body collapsed, the performances in the whole film are remarkable. .
I believe that many people will give bad reviews to Edward Norton this time, but I think he is actually aggrieved, because the director gave him too little space, except for running in the rain and the conversation in Aaron’s memory, the rest All of them are indoor scenes, except for a stinky face in a suit and leather shoes, pointing fingers at the headquarters, there is basically no other performance, and a symbolic role is arranged for life, which leaves no impression on people.
The whole film continues the intense rhythm of the "Bourne Bourne" series. After the opening 15 minutes, there is almost no garbage time. The action scenes are still designed to be simple and practical. Insert some footage from the first three episodes to expose more terrifying details of the "Stumbling Block Project" and "Black Heather Project". The government used the human body of the agents to conduct experiments to achieve their goals, making them rely on tissues and drugs. Then, after the plan was exposed, all the corpses were destroyed. But under the layers of heavy troops they laid, Aaron and Marta finally escaped, although it was only temporary.
At the end, Marta asks Aaron: Are you lost? Aaron: No, I'm just looking for places to go. Marta said: I'd rather be lost.
The prelude to Extreme ways sounds as the hero and heroine continue their escape.
Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know, will part
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
