The
events in this movie takes place around the same time that the events
in The Bourne Ultimatum. When a British reporter was writing an
expose about Black Ops operations Treadstone and Black Briar, and the
ones responsible for them are concerned. And when Jason Bourne,
former Treadstone operative got the file on Treadstone and Black
Briar and gave it to Pamela Landy who them passed it to the media.
When the men behind Treadstone and Black Briar learn of this, they're
concerned how this will affects other ops they have. They decide it's
best to shut down all ops and make sure make everyone involved
disappears. They try to take out Aaron Cross who is part of another
op called Outcome, but he manages to survive. He then seeks out Dr.
Marta Shearing who worked on him when he began. It seems part of the
program is for all subjects to take medications but he has run out,
which is why he seeks her. (Borrowed from IMDB)
Why
did I see this movie again?
Because
I saw so many commercials for it during the Olympics, and I think
that Jeremy Renner is hot.

Characters
The
casting for all of these Bourne movies has been great. All of the
bad guys are like slime you want to flick off the bottom of your
shoe, and the good guys all have their reasons for trying to stay one
step ahead of whatever is after them. Rachel Weisz was great as the
doctor, and I found both her story and Aaron Cross' compelling.

Did
I care what happened?
Yes.
I was very concerned that they were going to hurt Hawkey. Just
kidding. I liked the reason they gave Aaron Cross for going after
the doctor, but thought it could have been a little deeper instead of
so broad. The storytellers wanted to link this in with the other
Bourne movies, and I felt maybe did a little too much in that
direction and not enough in keeping things personal to the
characters. Still, I totally cared, I just wanted to care in a
different direction.

Plot
Holes
I
honestly didn't notice any, but they could have been there. I'm sure
if I watched the first three and then this one I could pick a few
places apart, but that's not why I went to see the movie.

How
many times did I yawn?
The
beginning was a little slow, and as usual, things weren't explained
very well. So that made me a bit cranky, but once the action got
started it kept me pretty interested.

Cool
Factor
Uh,
action? Chase scenes that did not go on for fifteen minutes. Good
tension. I liked it.

The
End
The
end was a bit strange. You remember all of those commercials during
the Olympics? “We've never seen test results like this” or
whatever. Well, that comment is not referring to our hero in this
movie. And they toss in one last obstacle that I thought was kind of
lame. If the goal was to kill all of the agents, then why leave this
very last one around? I didn't like it—it felt like a write-out.

That's definitely one I want to see, but since I have to take the whole clan, it'll probably wait till Redbox.
