The long wait of Filipinos (especially action fans) is over, after many inconveniences with traffic with the supervision of the MMDA, The Bourne Legacy will be shown in theaters this August 8. A spin off from the very successful and acclaimed Bourne Series (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum), the movie now tells the story of another agent similar to Jason Bourne, Aaron Cross.The movie goes on a world tour to many countries, not just the Philippines. From the cold mountains of Canada, to many Asian cities showing the string theory of events that eventually lead to the crossroads of the meltdown of the program and its agents. Rachel Weisz, plays the beautiful doctor who accompanies Aaron to travel to the other side of the world to Manila.
Of course, Pinoys who were part of this movie take pride of making this happen. And the view of Manila was really cool, for a true blue Manilan like me. The chase scene in the city was something really surreal to think that I also walked at those places. Also its my first time to see a Jeepney at a chase with passengers and falling moments. It also makes me think that Manila can be a place for parkour... perhaps? And El Nido is just... wow!
The Bourne Legacy would not really require you to watch the Trilogy first as it has its own story, but definitely will make you appreciate the movie more. I also liked that most of the Filipino actors in the movie which are indie and theater actors, a great choice. Also kudos to the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) with filming of the movie in Metro Manila, though I hope there would devise techniques to prevent traffic in the event of movie filming in the metro soon.
The Bourne Legacy is distributed by United International Pictures and Solar Entertainment Corporation. Showing in Theaters August 8.
Deliberation time kids!
