Not like the book, but still a good one.

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2002)

For the second time this year, the other being Tom Clancy's The Sum Of All Fears, The Bourne Identity is an action movie that was based on a hit bestseller, loosely based that is. For those who have read Bourne, the characters are the same, and that is where the similarities end. The movie was well done and action packed, and for the fans of the novel, you will not be let down. It is almost as if the movie is a different possibility of how Robert Ludlum could have started his best selling Bourne series. Matt Damon was very well cast for the role of Jason Bourne.
