When a British reporter was writing an expose about Black Ops operations Treadstone and Black Briar, and the ones responsible for them are concerned. And when Jason Bourne, former Treadstone operative got the file on Treadstone and Black Briar and gave it to Pamela Landy who then passed it to the media.

He then seeks out Dr. Marta Shearing who worked on him when he began. It seems part of the program is for all subjects to take medications but he has run out, which is why he seeks her. But someone tries to kill her. He saves her and she tells him, he should have stopped taking the medications long ago. They go to Manila so that she can help him. Later the men behind Outcome learn that Cross and Shearing are still alive. They try to get them.
Leave your thoughts about The Bourne Legacy.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin Covert"The Bourne Legacy" makes the most of its inheritance and sets the stage for a long, rich genealogy to come. |
| Epoch TimesMark JacksonJeremy Renner's stock-in-trade is a regular-looking joe who radiates a powerful undercurrent of danger. Given the new storyline, Renner is a perfect replacement for Matt Damon. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim Lane... all middle with no beginning -- and, of course, no end, so the franchise can go on. |
| MoviedexChris StuckmannThe 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. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonBourne fan fiction. But it's the rare sort of good fanfic: utterly inconsequential, of course, but a whole lotta fun. It's a turn-your-brain-off popcorn flick for people who don't like to turn our brains off just because we're at The Movies. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe fourth installment of the successful Bourne series is the weakest. |
| London Evening StandardDavid SextonThe whole thing remains peculiarly abstract - there's nothing to invest in here, no pre-existing couple under threat, no child in peril, no one to root for. No lighter moments either. |
| OregonianShawn LevyThe result is a newly revived spy movie franchise -- and the best big-budget action film of the summer. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisBy the time Rachel Weisz, as a scientist called Dr. Marta Shearing, showed up in a lab coat, I stopped trying to parse every plot twist and just went with the action flow. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordMaybe Universal is looking for their own version of "The Avengers," a Bourne megapalooza featuring rogue agents from multiple top secret government programs joining forces to take down the C.I.A., NSA and the Joint Forces. |
