[edit]

Synopsis: An expansion of the universe from Robert Ludlum's novels, centered on a new hero whose stakes have been triggered by the events of the previous three films.

Reaction: Reasonably enjoyable but Renner doesn't have the charisma that Damon does to carry this kind of film on his own.

Personal Rating: 6/10
