Here we have an action film, that despite a running time over 2 hours feeling like it's just treading water the entire time. They go out of there way to make numerous tie-ins and references to the other Bourne films to make it feel like part of the same series but this ultimately adds up to an extended exposition for a new series with a long action set piece at the end that ultimately resolves nothing.

It's well made enough, Tony Gilroy knows how to shot films. Jeremy Renner has never done anything for me and although I love Rachel Weisz, her damsel in distress character pretty much just consisted wearing a lab coat and glasses and and saying "SCIENCE!" every other word.

If this is a set up to a better film, so be it. But it doesn't hold up as a stand alone.
