FAVORITE MOVIE: [Bourne or Bond] The BOURNE LEGACY - A Movie You Won't Miss To Watch

             The latest installment of Bourne series based on the novel by Robert Ludlum is now on the big screen and theaters nationwide allocated 1/2 of their cinemas to this film.

           Well, primary reason is that ¾ of the movie is taken in the Philippines most especially the highly-thrilled, action-packed scenes on the busy-congested streets of Maynila-Taft-EDSA-Quiapo. Feel the a spinning roller coaster while watching the swift-rapid unending chase while riding a motorcycle while a sarao jeep beside is on the loose.

           It was a remarkable script by the way – that’s the advantage when the director is also one of the scriptwriter – Tony Gilroy knew what angle and shot he will take. I love it.

          The cast on its’ entirety is absolutely complimenting with each other, Rachel Weisz aside from being beautiful is sexy, while Jeremy Renner is a hot hunk to think that he’s already in his forties.

          I clapped and I can’t control it whenever I hear someone in the scene speaking in Filipino, and the conversation of Aaron Cross (Renner) and Dr. Marta Shearing (Weisz) as to where is the chems located, of course in “Manila, Philippines!” plus the text that appeared on the lower-right side of the screen that reads MANILA, PHILIPPINES. I felt a sense of pride on this film special mention to the local actors who where included in this movie. (A hint: the last 1 minute scene was taken in El Nido, Palawan).

         This is not a prequel or a sequel to Matt Damon's Bourne series movies as Jason Bourne, he is a different agent. While Jason is still out, Aaron Cross came into the picture who wanted to be enhanced needs the help of Dr. Martha Shearing, a genetic scientist who knew the medication of the six genetically enhanced agents exposed to CIA training programs. Col. Eric Byer played by Edward Norton, who by the way acted brilliantly to his character - the man responsible for creating these programs decided to eliminate these agents including Cross. 

        A TRIVIA: Aaron Cross character is not included in Ludlum novels.

       Bourne Legacy. Ahmmm. It’s More Fun In The Philippines.

       I warn you, don't you dare miss this movie.
