The breakdown of the clandestine program's secrecy began with the initial expose piece written by London reporter Simon Ross (poor Paddy Considine, who has to get shot all over again) in The Bourne Ultimatum. Each of those actors have small returning roles to those characters. Albert Hirsch (Albert Finney) taking the congressional and public fall. The Bourne Legacy also progresses through the tangent aftermath of Treadstone's public exposure thanks to Jason Bourne's actions and Pamela Landy's (Joan Allen) reporting, with CIA Deputy Director Noah Vosen (David Strathairn), head CIA Director Ezra Kramer (Scott Glenn), and Treadstone creator Dr. If you haven't seen that movie in a while, I highly recommend it as a necessary refresher. The initial timeline of The Bourne Legacy is interwoven concurrently with the events that happened during 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum. Now that I've seen the finished product, I can safely say that the filmmakers have succeeded, albeit with mixed results, in creating a sequel/spin-off worthy of the winning franchise we enjoyed from 2002 to 2007. When the voices stated "Jason Bourne was just the tip of the iceberg," I bought into it. I actually liked where they were advertising where the story was going. Since January, my worry and criticism has slowly subsided since getting clues of this movie's plot thanks to its excellent teaser and trailer. The whole notion seemed like a studio milking a trilogy that was buttoned up nicely by The Bourne Ultimatum. I wasn't too keen on a movie with the Bourne name that didn't include Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (the two have since re-teamed in Green Zone, an underrated little Iraq-set thriller). In that piece's sixth resolution, I wrote " Stop using makeup and name recognition to try and hide bad ideas," when speaking about this impending spin-off film back in January. Like Total Recall and The Amazing Spider-Man earlier this summer, The Bourne Legacy also made my prognosticating cross-hairs. After just watching Total Recall recently, I was reminded of the editorial I wrote on the New Year's resolutions of the movie industry for 2012.
