When the actions of Jason Bourne spark a fire that threatens to burn down decades of research across a number of secret intelligence agencies, Eric Byer (Edward Norton), the man who built the programs, decides he must sacrifice one of them: Outcome. Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), one of Outcome's six agents, and research scientist Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz) go on the run when Byer targets them for termination. But Cross proves to be a far deadlier target than Byer realizes.

Critics Consensus

It isn't quite as compelling as the earlier trilogy, but The Bourne Legacy proves the franchise has stories left to tell -- and benefits from Jeremy Renner's magnetic work in the starring role.

This is not the Bourne sequel you were looking for.

(Renner) has the required intensity and physicality to make his character-a highly-trained, genetically enhanced undercover agent-completely believable.

The Bourne Legacy exists only as a failed attempt to squeeze more juice out of a once-reputable franchise, which is hardly a legacy worth leaving.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

With all of the detail being presented of this new area taking place beside the previous timeline, The Bourne Legacy is a little overwhelming to follow.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

When it’s all over, and we reflect on what was accomplished in The Bourne Legacy within the larger Bourne mythos, it’s clear this entry is a superfluous, if very entertaining ride.

Rated: 3/4

Keith & the Movies

While Gilroy does occasionally struggle matching up with earlier films, the movie definitely has its moments that nicely falls in line with the series.

The fourth entry in the Bourne series does a commendable job of expanding upon Matt Damon's escapades. Jeremy Renner does a fine job assuming the lead, and Rachel Weisz delivers a very believable performance. The idea that the spies in this film are physically and mentally enhanced through medical prowess adds an interesting and new element to the spy subgenre.

The Bourne Legacy is a surprisingly excellent and thoroughly entertaining film. Watching it now, more than a decade after its release, I was genuinely impressed—especially given the unfairly harsh reviews it received at the time. The plot is solid, skillfully expanding the Bourne universe even without Matt Damon (which, honestly, works just fine). Jeremy Renner brings a compelling mix of strength, resourcefulness and grit to his character, while Rachel Weisz shines as a feminine yet smart and capable woman who rises to the challenge in her own way. The pacing is tight, the action well-executed—I seriously loved this movie.

Jeremy Renner is just a better actor than Matt Damon and it shows in this "Bourne" film. Great story, cinematography, good action and Rachel Weisz. It's the only film in this franchise that I've watched more than once and like Tokyo Drift, it's the best in a series and way underrated.
