Reminiscent of European secret agent films of the 1960s, but better done.

BOURNE IDENTITY ***_ Action/Adventure Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Clive Owen
Jason Bourne can't remember anything prior to two weeks ago, when he was pulled out of the sea by a fishing trawler. But the CIA remembers him -- and wants him dead (Why is it always the CIA?). BOURNE is reminiscent of European secret agent films of the 1960s, except this is better done. Matt Damon does a fine job in the lead role. Good performances all around. Fistfights, gunfire, and a long car chase.
