A perfect action thriller.

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2018)

THE BOURNE IDENTITY is an amazing action thriller. It perfectly balances action and thrills in a perfect proportion. Today, many spy themed action movies are compared to this one, and it's while watching the film itself I discovered why. The concept itself is an interesting one. Jason Bourne is a relatable and unforgettable character brought to life by Matt Damon's energetic performance as well as Doug Liman's skilled direction.
The film has excellently shot and brilliantly choreographed action sequences. Each and every action sequence is memorable, and there are a lot of intensely thrilling moments as well. Jason Bourne is a well written character, and Matt ensures he delivers a top notch act to make this portrayal a memorable as well as realistic one. Another credit to Franka Potente, who plays her part in a terrific manner and does justice to her character which doesn't feel irritating or pointless but important instead. The entire cast fits in their respective roles and delivers a good performance. The editing is top notch, as the entire screenplay works without any hiccups.
That being said, THE BOURNE IDENTITY is a captivating action thriller with a watertight script and no dull or unwanted moments. I'm now eager to watch the entire BOURNE film series, and undoubtedly I would love to own the DVD.
