Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, The Bourne Identity starts fast and never slows down. The twisting plot revs up in Zurich, where amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), with no memory of his name, profession, or recent activities, recruits a penniless German traveler (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) to assist in solving the puzzle of his missing identity. While his CIA superior (Chris Cooper) dispatches assassins to kill Bourne and thus cover up his failed mission, Bourne exercises his lethal training to leave a trail of bodies from Switzerland to Paris. Director Doug Liman (Go) infuses Ludlum's intricate plotting with a maverick's eye for character detail, matching breathtaking action with the humorous, thrill-seeking chemistry of Damon and Potente. Previously made as a 1988 TV movie starring Richard Chamberlain, The Bourne Identity benefits from the sharp talent of rising stars, offering intelligent, crowd-pleasing excitement from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "Who pays $20,000 for a ride to Paris?"Jason Bourne based on the symptoms presenting, is having a conflict unconsciously... He's instructed to go and kill somebody... In the movie, he is given the diagnosis of selective dissociative amnesia...What they did is, they had him forget who he was but they allowed him to continue to remember all the training and the things that he learned over time... Damon's character, Jason, has been trained in self-defense, weapons handling, high-speed driving, disguise, and secret writing communications... ... Read More Rating:  - Bourne, Jason BourneThese Bourne movies rock my world. You know THE BOURNE IDENTITY and subsequent sequels are so bad. The Bourne movies are so bad they got James Bond to change almost everything about himself except his name. And James Bond probably didn't change his name because he at least has the same initials as Jason Bourne. Seriously they knocked it out of the park with the Bourne films. Don't know which is 'the best' one. Hard to say. Nobody's better than Paul Greengrass (director of the sequels) at doin the realer than real ... Read More Rating: - A boring BourneThat wasn't a brand new idea - of making a movie about super-spy lost his memories. Well, may be that happens to often? Poor guys. It's pale. Or may be even flat. No feelings. No thoughts. Even no humour. Some chase, "Mini" rocks, yaaawn. Boring and predictable. So Matt Damon couldn't save the movie - he had nothing to do, to play, but a couple of tricks. So the coolest thing in the whole story is that advanced "laser pointer". (In Russian translation they called it "microfilm". Ugh.) And, by the way, those attempts ... Read More Rating: - Great movieMatt Damon rocks in these movies -- he is amazing -- the action is suspenseful and real. I wish there were more coming! Rating: - WELL PACED, SOLID ACTION MOVIE! MY 900TH REVIEW AND COUNTING!I have not read the book, but reviewing this as a movie on it's own, it's quite good and much better than the usual action fare! Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne like a robotic killing machine. Fast paced, engrossing with an intelligent script, this film leaves you wanting more!......and more ye shall get with installments 2 and 3! The DVD has a great transfer and the extended edition is nothing more than a small scene added to the beginning and end of the film. Fortunately the theatrical release is intact. |
