The Bourne Identity (2002)


Summary: A man is picked up by a fishing boat, bullet-riddled and without memory, then races to elude assassins and recover from amnesia. -IMDb

My Rating: 5/10

The action is pretty intense and I do like the fact that Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) seems to have no idea how he knows that he can fight. It is a pretty convincing act. All the different languages that he figures out that he can speak is also quite amazing. the fact that he first speaks English, hears someone speaking another language, and then he realizes he in fact knows the language and flows smoothly into is another great testament to his acting.

However, the girl that is tagging along on his adventure to find out who he really is, Marie (Franka Potente) seems to drag down the adventure and the speed of this movie. Her role in the movie does nothing to further the storyline.

I enjoyed the mystery of trying to figure out who exactly he is and why people want him dead.

People have said this movie was very good, but I did not think it was that amazing. I feel as though there could have been more to the plot and to the ending. I was very confused by the ending and some of the things he did were not very realistic. He always just seemed to know that something was going to happen. If he failed a couple times, it would make the movie better.
