This is off-topic, but while the Bourne franchise is rightly acclaimed for its action pieces, I thought it was exceptionally written, especially the last film. There may not be
a lot of "substance", but what there is is dealt with in a both mature* and smart** way.
*Not a single character felt to me like a carboard cut-out put there just to drive the plot forward, for example.
**The sudden recontextualizing a scene from one of the previous films gets - no spoilers! - caught me completely by surprise, and is my most jaw-dropping moment in any 2007 film.
So, to pretend the above wasn't off-topic after all
, if
Alpha Protocol is anything like
The Bourne Ultimatum (and with lead designers like these, it easily could be), I am buying it, even if that means it favours action over intrigue.
