Jason Bourne is just as swinging' great as Ethan Hunt, John McClane and for that matter, James Bond

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2007)

A fishing trawler rescues an amnesiac from the Mediterranean Sea. Not remembering his own name, what he's done or were he was headed, he soon discovers that he's got some serious skills of martial arts. Now, he starts the voyage to discover who he is - though, will he live long enough to find it out? From the moment Matt Damon discovers his true powers, a new action hero is born; who could guess that Matt Damon, the Good Will Hunting would turn into something this spectacular and convincing? This blue-eyed, innocent-looking American wants to be just that, but his true nature is looking much darker than thus. Doug Liman seemed as a bad choice for making an action-spy thriller, but with his hand-held camera style and improvisational work he does some seriously impressive work here. It's pumped-up movie with great stunts and enough twists to keep the audience guessing. The Bourne Identity was one of few movies that actually made you welcome a sequel.
