The Bourne Identity (2002)

A boring Bourne

That 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 to put Slavic languages in the movies are boring too. You know, a super-mega-hyper-absolute-spy risks a lot, if he tries to use a passport with a senseless bunch of cyrillic letters instead of name. What a shame. October 5, 2008

Great movie

Matt Damon rocks in these movies -- he is amazing -- the action is suspenseful and real. I wish there were more coming! October 1, 2008

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. August 24, 2008

Switch to Netflix

Did not know it took a special DVD machine to play this. No problem sending it back for credit. I signed up for Netflix and love it. August 18, 2008
