Absolutely agree. The fact we didn’t get a showpiece fight sequence with the even more enhanced assassin was a missed opportunity. When the film came out, there was talk of eventually pitting Aaron cross against Jason Bourne, with cross as the antagonist. That would have been fascinating
anyone would be a better choice for a cia role or special ops dude or assasin then renner he's like the dish washer. why you think he nearly killed himself shoveling snow.
The whole time she was hiding I thought "pretty sure the guy fired 2 rounds and she fired 4 during her dash, so that revolver's dry," so it was nice to have the movie pay that off when Cross finally reaches her.
@@AkiraNakamoto I have to say that Paddy Considine played a very convincing freaked out Guardian journalist: he brings his best to every role, no matter how little he has to work with.
JEREMY DEFINITELY HOLDS UP HIS END OF THE BARGAIN.... VERY WELL DONE AND IVE WATCHED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES ..... because its just REALLY GREAT ACTION AND SUSPENSE!!
Shame we never got another Film centered on Cross. Who knows, maybe the Sixth One they have in Development might possibly have Bourne and Cross Team-Up (Hopefully).
Meh. "Let's split up, and fight the interfering guy one at a time" doesn't seem realistic to me. If they had all three gone upstairs, right after he went into the basement, then they could have completed the mission..
Too bad he had a harness on (that was digitally edited out) to lift him up for this, as per "behind the scenes" footage. In retrospect, it does come off looking far too easy here.
I completely understand why some people don't like Legacy since it doesn't have quite the writing quality or the sense of intrigue... but to say it was bad or boring is just a disservice to it. I enjoyed the compelling through line that he was fighting against his body going back to normal, and the action choreography was on par with the rest of the Bourne movies, if lacking in new ideas. Plus the sequence in the medical facility was just brilliant
@@nobytes2 maybe Bourne purists, but there is dislike from the general public too, which I disagree with. Its somewhat mediocre, but there is far worse movies.
@@NightingaleSunset I personally read the Legacy book, I still like this movie because it introduces a good backstory about these super soldiers that was partially revealed in the first three. Action scenes were good imo. I like Jeremy since his SWAT days. I think another big reason people dislike sequels if we can even call it that since is in a parallel time from the previous one, but is a new cast and people really hate cast changes.
This movie is ahead of its time. Bioweapon labs in developing country, how the alphabet agencies end their secret programs by wiping out people who know something or work in the programs similar to the "Three Days of the Condor". Very classic and realistic spy movie.
This is, as several others have said, an under rated movie. The "sci fi" elements were the weakest part for me, but this scene was great. I really loved that the assassins really did look like regular people, but once the fight starts, they totally feel like a real threat to the protagonists, like when the woman has been shot and she's NOT impervious to pain, but it jsut really f**king tough. I also love that they have clearly done this before and they are practicsed at faking the suicide. These aren't just hired muscle, they are as dangerous as Jason Bourne or Aaron Cross.
Cross was unarmed, and they couldn't leave an enemy combatant in their rear to circle around. Send one guy after Cross, then two armed ones after the doc, who actually has a gun. Also, the basement had THREE exits, if you count Cross's window.
Tony Gilroy certainly knows how to make intense fight sequences. So it's too bad the overall movies was flat. But I think this is one of the best action sequences of modern cinema. Definitely up there with the initial Bourne Identity fight sequence in Paris!
Every time I read about a person committing suicide right before they go public with info/testimony, I think of this scene and a similar one from the movie Shooter. These scenes are based off of real life techniques that governments use (ex: CIA has admitted in congressional hearings and leaked/declassified documents to the use of assassination techniques like this and many others, such as the heart-attack-gun, but obviously emphasize that it is only used in foreign countries). I always wonder how many other people think of this scene when reading about things like whitewater, the Lumumba assasination, etc, and if it is as disturbing for them as it is for me knowing that the technique being depicted may not be as fictional as we truly realize.
I do.... and every time i watch this scene i get chills. Rachel is such as amazing actress as well. The whole dialogue leading up to this scene is acted superbly!
'The Bourne Legacy' was a pretty great movie for the most part, with an excellent cast and some really rewatchable action sequences. I must've seen the entire film about three or four times now, and the only thing that bothers me is the sudden and deeply unsatisfying ending - like they either ran out of ideas or they ran out of budget. Pity. But that still places this installment in the franchise way ahead of the 2016 'Jason Bourne', which I found utterly forgettable.
I always preferred this film over the other Bourne franchise. The others with their sped-up fight sequences and Bourne traveling the world to escape the villains with never a hat or sunglasses or beard or any semblance of a disguise to conceal his identity. …a joke.
The only issue for me in an otherwise superb film was the idea of the program tweaking the genetics with the chems rather than going with superior training methods by which Jason Bourne was supposedly trained. I liked the tie-in to the previous three and even felt disappointed for Pamela Landy that nothing came of the whistleblowing.
It kind of takes the fun out of it. We project ourselves onto the protagonists and so we want our characters like Jason Bourne to be highly skilled, creative and outwit the bad guys even though they have fewer resources or adverse circumstances. In this movie, the protagonist has these amazing brain steroid drugs so he's less relatable and his skills feel unearned
Bourne was Treadstone..the first program?..and with his going rogue, I think it works that they tweaked other subsequent programs to guarantee more "obedient" assassins. Cross was a soldier after all, with the drugs giving a boost to an already existing skill set.
Nothing wrong with this flick at all. I enjoyed the different perspective and story behind another outcome agent. This is a good action film. I don't know why they didn't follow-up with another one with these two characters.
Can anyone explain to me the trick at the top of the stairs when Aron Cross gives the Dr HIS watch a glock and he blindly shoots 2 double taps though the door?Really cool but how?
He knows how tactically trained personnel move when clearing a structure, so he estimates the time it will take for the agent to come up the stairs. He knows the sound of him closing the closet door will bring the agent up the stairs and toward the closet. He gives her the watch and the gun so she'll know when to fire, giving the agent an immediate threat that will bring him up to and beyond the closet. Then he listens to the sound of the agent moving and fires as he arrives in the kill zone. He knows he's shooting blind, so he comes out of the closet drawing down on the fallen agent to make sure he's dead.
I wouldn't mind this movie if it wasn't associated with the Bourne franchise. Give it another name, switch the names and references out to be its own original film. I will give credit that the action sequences and the ideas are good. Even Jeremy Renner does a rather good job in his role. But for it to be in connection to the Bourne films was setting the bar far too high, especially when having a title as "The Bourne Legacy".
I don't know if the connection with the Bourne franchise was the problem. I think the movie title was the only problem. They could have kept it in the Bourne universe and be its own spinoff.
@@gyrogerg The title definitely is a big problem. With a name like "The Bourne Legacy", it makes one think that Bourne is in it. I'm not sure what the title should have been. One of my working title ideas was "The Cross Conspiracy" (since the main character is named Cross) or "Aftermath".
Some aren't crazy about this installment, but for me it was a worthy addition to the Bourne franchise. Plus it has Rachel Weisz in it 😍
Not only addition to the franchise. I would rank it no.2 in the franchise, second only to the original.
To me it was one of the best in the series......Renner does a fantastic job and you throw in Weisz and you have a superb movie.
imma simple man.. i see rachel weisz i watch...
she ages well
the first half of the film is great, but was let down by a weak ending i think
Renner is a top notch actor.
I love how one guy takes a kitchen table to the jaw!
shows you the super human strength of Jeremy Renner's character
wait...did he really kill him with that move???
@@jonluk Yes, died instantly due to massive blunt force trauma to the face cause Runner's character is basically a super soldier but realistic.
This is a grossly underrated movie. The only weakness in it is the lack of a final big fight between Cross and the LARX agent.
Exactly. LARX was a dud.
@@beck4218 Right? Taking him out with a motorcycle crash? Wtf were they thinking?
But Cross is apparently Bourne after all without Matt Damon
Absolutely agree. The fact we didn’t get a showpiece fight sequence with the even more enhanced assassin was a missed opportunity. When the film came out, there was talk of eventually pitting Aaron cross against Jason Bourne, with cross as the antagonist. That would have been fascinating
Too many chase scenes
He may not looks that charming, but Jeremy Renner is one of my favorite actors as every role he’s played, especially this one.
Love him in Wind River, one of the best movies I've seen in recent years. I'm REALLY disappointed there was never a sequel to The Bourne Legacy.
Also at MI.
I don't mind how he looks. Even Matt Damon isn't Brad Pitt or Pierce Brosnan. In terms of the character, Renner does a job in making him unique.
I second that and agree with you 💯 💖
anyone would be a better choice for a cia role or special ops dude or assasin then renner he's like the dish washer. why you think he nearly killed himself shoveling snow.
Renner is fantastic !
The whole time she was hiding I thought "pretty sure the guy fired 2 rounds and she fired 4 during her dash, so that revolver's dry," so it was nice to have the movie pay that off when Cross finally reaches her.
This one was the best of all
At least she listens...unlike the British reporter....
Bourne: Don’t Run!
Reporter: Runs *Dies*
Also the Reporter: Why did I die?
The British reporter is the King Viserys, who just died in House of the Dragon last week. LOL
@@AkiraNakamoto I have to say that Paddy Considine played a very convincing freaked out Guardian journalist: he brings his best to every role, no matter how little he has to work with.

This scene is so intense and kinematic! 😀 I don`t care if it`s not realistic, it`s just pure enjoyment. But it's also very realistic. 😃

My God, Rachel was just stunning in this movie.
She's just stunning!
@@terryoneil7128 Extra stunning then...
@@jeddiajones4570 agreed!
...and everywhere else.
I always liked this movie better than the other Bourne ones, it just seemed more gritty, and it didn't have the shaky cam.
The shaky cam is incredible. This movie seriously misses it
Nope. Shaky cams are terrible, a total disservice to any movie
love the parkour move at 3:24.
Favorite part

3:20 - you know JR in in shape..
They admitted they used an overhead cable and CGI'd it out. But yes he still had to be in shape.
That's cables, dude! U r very naive 😁
That lady who plays the fake psychologist always plays these types of characters. In almost every series she is in, she's a shady government official.
That's the trouble with the casting agents.
She did perfect the final scene of True Grit as the grown up Mattie Ross.
Think she even worked for the Post Office....
She's got that kind of shady, bossy look.
Man! I really hope Renner makes a full recovery. He’s awesome!!

sure, the best 4th Bourne movie ever
No it wasn't....not even close to the first 3
You have your taste i guess. But your taste is wrong lmao. It is a good movie on its own though. I enjoyed it.
I mean, I liked it, but no.
Stop..
Love this movie would have been great to have a sequel
1:35 Goon 1: Hey, he ran into the basement that only has one way out, should I follow him?!
Goon 2: Yeah, go!
2 exits
Cross was unarmed, and they couldn't leave an enemy combatant in their rear to circle around. Send one guy after Cross, then two armed ones after the doc, who actually has a gun.

As you can see here that Jeremy is in fantastic physical condition and that is why he was able to bounce back from his horrible accident!
My second most favorite of the Bourne franchise.
realizing he gave her the glock to shoot and not the sig. dude assumed his teammate was doing the shooting. they all know the sound difference
Shoulda known they was messin with Hawkeye. What were they thinking??
some people didn't care for this movie but I liked it ... for me it was done good....
Actually a really terrific film.
I loved this movie, more than the Bourne ones really. I kinda wanna see a "cross" over.
He was the better bourne of them all .
Love this movie. Great action scene!
I still think this was a very good movie

The problem isn't the film. It's a good film, but the budget is getting way up there in the 150M range. Just makes the economics tough.
What is the name of the actress who played the role of the doctor?
Agent “Cross”? Did title composer think this is an Alex Cross movie?
Watch Elizabeth Marvel playing as a killer was very unfamiliar but she looked quite mean in this movie.
The "psychologist" is really a bad person.
