Closest thing one gets to modern-day ninjas

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2004)

I just saw these films and look forward to a sequel. These Bourne movies rock. The best action since Raiders of the Lost Ark. As opposed to the recent James Bond movies the Bourne movies actually makes sense.
The CIA is portrayed as a violent, corrupt brainwashing cult, and Bourne as an archetypal, warrior-hero trying to fight his way out. Meantime he is being attacked by cia-ninja assassins and he himself is one of them. These people are the only ones who fight back. Normal people don't. The CIA-treadstone, as they are called, assassins are obviously trained very well in martial arts. Highly recommended. The first one is even better than the second, I think. Bourne is more cool in the second but the story in the first one is even more astonishing. 10/10.
