Our take on The Bourne Legacy

Tony Gilroy's 2012 action thriller expands the spy franchise sideways, following new operative Aaron Cross, whose own life-or-death predicament is set in motion by the fallout from Jason Bourne's earlier actions. Rather than retreading familiar ground, it explores the wider program lurking behind the original story, trading some of the series' hand-held immediacy for a more procedural, conspiracy-minded texture. It suits viewers curious about the machinery around Bourne rather than the man himself, and who enjoy a chase-driven thriller with a fresh protagonist under pressure. If you approach it as a companion piece broadening the world rather than a direct sequel, its globe-hopping intrigue holds up.
