Action thriller starring Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. As the CIA's covert operations are compromised and details are leaked to the media, intelligence chiefs decide to cut their losses and kill every agent testing their top secret genetic experiment. Agent Aaron Cross manages to escape the onslaught, but must contact the scientist behind Operation Outcome to maintain his enhanced functions and foil his handlers.
In this spin-off from the Matt Damon-fronted Bourne saga, Jeremy Renner plays trained killer Aaron Cross, who goes on the run with a genetic scientist (Rachel Weisz) who holds the secret to his enhanced biology. After a convoluted beginning, in which the film confusingly connects with the first three movies in the series, director Tony Gilroy finally begins to pick up the pace. A tense shoot-out in Weisz's home and a motorbike chase finale through Manila's crowded streets are among the highlights of a smaller-scale but well-crafted thriller. A fifth film, Jason Bourne, brought Damon back to the franchise.
