"The Bourne Legacy" is a continuation of the same, with Bourne remaining in hiding, whilst trying to unravel what has been done to him, via the medicines he has been repeatedly given by the government, who are now out to get him. "The Bourne Legacy" is a very violent film with a story line that meanders too much, taking away from parts of its message.
