The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles. -- (C) Universal

Critic Reviews
-
Nigel Floyd, Time Out
Shares crucial DNA with the earlier films but is drawn from the shallower end of the gene pool.
-
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
Perhaps the most interesting question arising from The Bourne Legacy is just how long the filmmakers hope to trade on the Bourne name without any, you know, Bourne.
-
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Renner and Weisz work well together as two hunted souls who initially need each other for utilitarian reasons.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Gilroy's a fine writer - he also penned Michael Clayton - but without the discipline of an action veteran like Greengrass to rein him in, he indulges his weakness to over-explain things.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
It's twists and turns and nothing else. And fast and furious as it may be, if this is the best this once-smart series has to offer, this is no legacy.
