The Bourne Legacy

Plot: Jason Bourne wasn’t the only subject in the experiment to create the perfect soldier, and so we have Jeremy Renner as….another random super soldier, finding out the horrible truth and fleeing for his life.

Pros: It looks like a clean cut, clear action movie, and J.R. is riding high on his recent Avengers role, so this film won’t crash his career if it flops. Plus, it could be good, there’s no reason it won’t be.
