Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2007)

The Bourne Identity (2002, Dir. Doug Liman)
When a body is recovered at sea still alive, the mystery man seems to have forgotten everything in life, including who he was. Eventually he begins to remember smaller details in life and soon finds out that his name was Jason Bourne. What he doesn't like is that a gun and fake passports also belong to him. Now Bourne, and his new friend, Marie Helena Kreutz travel from country to country in search of his new identity. But, someone else is not happy to see him alive, and is frantically trying to track him down.
I've never read the novel so i have no idea how close to it the film comes, so I'm going to review the movie as if there isn't a novel. If you enjoy any movies of the James Bond series, then you should really see this. It a spy movie, but of a different variety. It takes things from a realistic approach and makes you really think. Everything from the way Bourne fights to the car chase in prepared in every little detail, which make it possible in real life. The don't rely on special effects and really make sure the mystery if something which really is thought about. This is the way a lot of spy movies should be created these days. Definitely the start of a fantastic trilogy.
