pure entertainment

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2003)

"The Bourne Identity" is one of the best action, thriller, popcorn whatever moves Ifve seen in a long, long time. It is such a fun to watch. It has everything: martial arts and car chase hundred times better than in "The Matrix Reloaded", cool chick that could actually act and most important of all it had that feeling of realism. Yea that's right realism something unusual for such movies.
Matt Damon is an amnesiac who happens to be one of CIA's top assassins. Till he figures that out he has to deal with a whole bunch of people who want him down. Virtually, everybody in this movie tries to kill him. But that's OK for as I sad the film is still realistic as a film can be. Matt Damon contributes a lot to that feeling. Solid performance. I especially liked the scene at the American embassy when he came down from the roof like alpinist. No music, just him and the wall. It might sound crazy but I liked it.
The whole movie basically is about nothing; has no heroes and no bad guys, it goes nowhere. It won't-make-you-think kind of movie. Pure entertainment. Everything's executed at a very good pace, with some great camera work and surprisingly good performance from Matt (I didnft like him very much even in "Good Will Hunting"). Highly recommended.
