Grade: B

The Bourne series continues, this time without Jason Bourne (Matt Damon).  Instead we have Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner).  Aaron knows he’s a special spy, and he’s smart enough to get out of any situation, even one where he’s the target.  Edward Norton plays the insider who is targeting him.  It’s cat and mouse for a bit – while Aaron hooks up with Dr. Marta Shearling, a biochemist who knows all about the drugs that turn these people into super spies.  As a team, these two are quite savvy, leaving the possibility for many more Bourne movies wide open.  There are a few nods to the original character throughout.  Nice touch for fans of the franchise.
