Decent thriller

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2011)

I like thrillers. This was an action-packed thriller that held my attention. I had wanted to see this for a number of years. It seems like it has only been recently that I have spotted it on the tube. Until then, only the sequels were shown. I have something about watching series in sequence.
I thought the premise was a bit forced. I don't really understand why we wanted to get rid of Bourne to begin with. Just because a hit went bad is a reason to kill him? Other than that, it was a fine movie.
Lots of action, good visuals.
It seems like Bourne is akin to a modern day James Bond.
