A sort-of remake of the original movie, with Jeremy Renner as the genetically enhanced assassin and Rachel Weisz as the doctor caught up in the fallout. It's got some really good action sequences, and such a good car/motorbike chase it ought to have been called Drive. The supporting cast is good, lead by Edward Norton, but despite being a reasonable pizza movie, there's always a comparison with the original, so much so that there are references to events from the Bourne Ultimatum going on in the background. It's as if to say, "you're watching this, but there's a much better movie going on over there."
