Wish I could forget who I am after watching this....

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2003)

I am a Matt Damon fan here in his home state of Massachusetts. I just bought a Hitachi DVD player and have purchased Rounders and Oceans 11 which I enjoyed. I got Bourne Identity as a gift but was very much let down by it. Female lead (the German chick) seems like a nice person based on interviews in Bonus coverage but she was a definite mis-cast for this role. In all the DVD Bonus coverages I have seen the Directors always say how important casting is. This is where Bourne fell apart. A bombshell with some charisma opposite Damon would have made this much better. In this film the German girl sports a hideous tatoo on her back and you actually hope she keeps her clothes ON. Also I couldn't understand a word the African guy was saying. Like I said I wish I could forget watching this but at least it was better than watching Celtics play Raptors. 6 out of 10....Don't BUY!!!
