Matt Damon is tops

Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2007)

Rewatched on TV last week and din't realise I hadn't reviewed before, so here it is Have you ever woken up on a strange boat with bullet holes in you and not knowing where you are or who you are? Then you'll love "The Bourne Identity".
"The Bourne Identity" is built around Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), who wakes up on a table on a boat in the middle of the ocean. He has no idea where he is, who he is and how he got on the boat. Upon arriving on land he begins to try to discover who he is. It soon becomes clear he's some sort of assassin. he sets out to discover who he works for and what lies ahead. With the help of a strange girl, he digs up his past and finds out pieces of the puzzle that is him.
Really good movie. Shot in some great locations, with some excellent fight sequences. The greatest appeal of the movie though is the lack of dialogue, Bourne is cold and calculated and overdone verbal communication would be out of place. Top stuff.
