The film starts out promising enough, with Aaron Ross (Jeremy Renner) traipsing across Alaska looking for meds to keep his enhancements levelled out, and discovers he's being targeted for death. With call backs to the past Bourne films, the program that created Jason Bourne is being systematically scuttled to cover up further exposure to a deep covert government involvement (a la super-solider development black-ops style). Once you find out Ross's motivations (besides staying alive), it feels like the film just flutters around like a balloon whose air has been suddenly released. Ultimately, I was let down by the film's third act where they borrowed quite a bit from Terminator 2, laughably so.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
