OK, you've got amnesia, can kill easily and you're being hunted. What do you do?

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2005)

When I first heard about this film I thought "Matt Damon's in this? Yeah right, as if he'll be any good". But Damon actually won me over, with a believable performance as your friendly spy with amnesia, Jason Bourne. Bourne is hauled out of the sea with bullets in him and no knowledge of who he is or what he has done. With the help of Marie (Potente), Bourne slowly starts to discover his identity and purpose, all the while being chased by assassins and spies all over Europe. The film boasts realistic fight scenes, nail-biting action sequences and great locations across Europe. The whole film, in my opinion had a sense of realism about it. I mean imagine if you couldn't remember who you were, but could fight, shoot and drive like a maniac? What would you do if you were being hunted and had no idea why? All up an enjoyable action flick and not a bad way to kill a couple of hours.
