The Bourne is in Manila, and the mention of Manila, Philippines in the movie created a buzz among movie goers. This was last Monday night during the VIP screening held in SM Mall of Asia. (I know that the screening came after the opening.. cannot blame anyone, organizers first thought of everyone's safety due to weather).
I will start this review with a disclaimer. I am no movie reviewer and I have not seen the first three Bourne movies. But I got some good points that already convinced 4 people to watch the movie after all the bad reviews they've read and heard.
The Plot
I am not sure if one needs to watch the first 3 movies to understand the film; but I was able to grasp the story as it progresses. Now, if you really a fan of Matt Damon, you should have watched the first three films (which now I think I should.. how did I let all those good movies pass?)
I don't understand why people thought that it is dragging and boring; probably there are expectations from the other Bourne movies. To put it simpler, Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) is being tracked down by the people who once made him the person that he is - a smart spy! He escaped with Doctor Marta (Rachel Weisz) and landed in Manila to get more supplies of "Chems" - the blue and green tablets which he got dependent to.
