This movie is in the Bourne world, but is not about Jason Bourne. Instead it is about another operative. It coincides with Bourne ultimatum and talks about how the people high in government were cleaning up their mess with Treadstone and Blackbriar. They were doing this by killing people involved with the program, including all of the enhanced agents like Bourne. There are nine of them and in this case it is Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) who is running. They also want to kill the lab team that has been working on the meds and viruses that gives them their powers. They kill most of the agents by giving them poison instead of their regular pills. Cross was on a mission, and able to evade the drone sent to kill he and another agent (Oscar Isaac). It gets the other agent, but Dross avoids being blown up, and tricks the monitors when he puts his tracking device in the wolf.
Dross also manages to save a lab scientist, Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz). The rest of the lab people were killed. He is able to deal with the team sent to Shearing's house to kill her. A final lab enhanced person is sent to kill them. Very intense chases and fight scenes. Renner is fun as an enhanced agent. We learn much more about the program and how it came to be.
