The Bourne Identity (2003, DVD)

Movie Description
As THE BOURNE IDENTITY begins, a man who may or may not be Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea and is hauled onto a fishing boat. 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.

Editorial Reviews
"...Blisteringly fast, BOURNE also has a strong or striking supporting actor around every corner..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (06/14/2002)

"...Very well done, with skillful action sequences and a great chase scene through Paris streets..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/21/2002)

"...There's much to enjoy here....Liman has real talent....An undertone of humour enriches the action..."
Sight and Sound - Rob White (09/01/2002)

"...Cool RONIN-style car chases ensue....BOURNE earns what passes as hip praise..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (07/04/2002)

"...A tiptop espionage thriller....Laced with great shocking moments, BOURNE moves along smartly on its own steam, drawing us confidently into its orbit..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (06/14/2002)

    The better of the 2 Bourne movies in my opinion.
    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.

    this is a great movie full of action and suspense. this is about a secret agent with amnesia but cannot understand why he speaks several languages. everywhere jason bourne goes he is hunted and doesn't know why. if you like action and adventure this is the movie to watch.

    Excellent service. I bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.
