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.

What to Know

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.

Monica Castillo Dig Boston This is not the Bourne sequel you were looking for. Sep 24, 2012 Full Review Leonard Maltin indieWire (Renner) has the required intensity and physicality to make his character-a highly-trained, genetically enhanced undercover agent-completely believable. Aug 24, 2012 Full Review Chris Stuckmann Moviedex 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. Rated: 2.5 Aug 22, 2012 Full Review Don Shanahan 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 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington 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.

Audience Member I though this was an excellent movie I am a huge Jason Bourne fan. This is not a Jason Bourne movie duhhh. As a stand alone movie it as good if not Better the the Jason Bourne movies which I liked. Don’t listen to the reviews. See it yourself. I wish that had made more of them with Jeremy Rainer Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review James C A pointless film with an incredibly linear plot and zero substance. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: O Legado Bourne Elenco: @jeremyrenner @edwardnortonofficial @rachelweisz1 @oscarisaac.br @stacykeach Modelo: #agentesecreto #ação #suspense #espionagem Duração: 2h 15m Ano: 2012 Minha opinião: Nesta série são 4 filmes com Matt Damon e 1 filme com Jeremy Renner. 1º A identidade Bourne 2002, A Supremacia Bourne 2004, O Ultimato Bourne 2007 e Jason Bourne 2016 e com Jeremy O Legado Bourne 2012. Em todos eles, são perseguido pela própria agência. No mesmo momento que passa a estoria de Jason Bourne temos esta estória em paralelo, pena que ainda não houve uma continuidade nela. Pois foi uma boa atuação de Renner e Weisz. Temos Aaron como Bourne que faz parte de um experimento com compromidos que estimulam sentidos e repremi a dor. E Dra. Marta (Weisz) que é uma da cientistas que trabalha com o aperfeiçoamento das drogas. Aaron decobre que é um alvo da agência após suas pílulas estarem acabando e assim indo para agência porem enquanto aguarda seu avião é atacadopor Isaac. E a Marta vê um dos cientistas eliminando todos os outros cientista e somente Marta sai com vida e bem nesse momento ela sendo interrogada chega Aaron para salva-la de matadores enviados. Agora os 2 são considerados fugitivos. E com uma perseguição por Eric (Norton). E em vários países. Temos um filme cheio de ação. Com boas cenas de perseguições um filme não deixa a desejar com Matt Damon. Roteiro e enredo bem elaborado e feito. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 8,5 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Gerald H I actually like Jeremy Renner‘s character in the franchise very very much. On the other hand, Rachel Weisz‘s character (as well as her acting) are an annoying catastrophe. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Alex L Characters aren’t as interesting or 3 dimensional as the main movies. Too much in the action than the spy movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Mark S The best of the series Brilliant beyond words the performance of Rachel Weiss Remner is superb Absolutely marvellous Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
