Bourne Legacy (2012)

There are some reasons to see this movie - first, Rachel Weisz.  This may be an action flick, but she is far above the norm for this type of movie.  The same is true of Jeremy Renner and Ed Norton

However, the franchise feels tired.  There is some really ridiculous stuff in here (fighting with a wolf?), and the ending is typical over-the-top nonsense.  Plus they introduce a character at the end - you would think to keep the franchise going - and then kill him off.  It's pointless and detracts from the 23 explosions and car chases. 

Still, it's better than most.  And there's no gratuitous sex!  I love that for an interesting change of pace.
