When the ship's doctor examines the unconscious castaway, he discovers two bullet wounds and an implanted device that displays a Swiss bank account number. With nothing but this code, the amnesiac Bourne travels to Zurich and gains access to a safe-deposit box containing a gun, thousands of dollars in various currencies, and valid passports from numerous countries--each listing a different identity. Within minutes, Bourne is on the run from a seemingly ever-present agency, relying on language and fighting skills he didn't even know he possessed. Offering $20,000 for a ride to Paris, Bourne gains the reluctant help of the nomadic Marie (Franka Potente). Meanwhile, the shadowy organization, headed by a tough-talking bureaucrat (Chris Cooper), sends numerous assassins (including the Professor, played by Clive Owen) after Bourne and Marie. As their situation grows more perilous, the two strangers struggle to find out who Bourne really is and why they are being hunted. Doug Liman's adaptation of Robert Ludlum's best-selling novel is a remarkable exercise in straightforward storytelling, with the director wisely choosing to focus on Bourne and his quest for identity. The fight sequences are thrilling, but never overly glamorized, and the film's pacing is engaging and deliberate. Damon, who displays genuine bewilderment as his character discovers his almost-superhuman abilities, anchors the proceedings with the subtle charm of an unlikely action hero. Potente also shines as Bourne's road companion, a savvy woman who slowly builds an utterly believable relationship with the confused man. Bearing distinct affinity for its European setting and classic Hollywood suspense films, THE BOURNE IDENTITY succeeds as an unusually smart character-driven thriller.

Jason Bourne(Matt Damon) sufferes from amnesia and can't remember who he is or why he can speak several languages. This movie is action packed. A definite must see.

Report this review Review created: 03/31/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. They said that it was the second best spy thriller of all time. Well, if they are wrong they were not far off the mark. I watched all 3 movies, in order, one after the other on a Sunday evening. I bought the set on a recommendation from my work mate who indicated that the second movie had some scenes located in Goa, India where my parents were born. Personally, if I watch 3 movies in a row then the movies are imaginative, exciting and captivating because I rarely watch even one movie at home without also doing other chores in between. The movie was well directed and produced with action all over the world. Review ID: 10000000006408493 Was this review helpful?
