James Bond should be put out to grass!

Rating: Null/10 (8 September 2002)

This movie screams class, modesty and intense action, all at the same time. The acting is honest, the production, aside from a couple of minor continuity errors (WHO CARES!) is superb, and the story, although seen a few times before under different guises, is brought to the screen with a fresh and realistic angle. The action is believable and continual. The fight sequences are VERY well choreographed with a wincingly realistic edge, and thank GOD ...... NO corny 'one liners' after each physical encounter, very refreshing! 'The Bourne Identity' is fast paced without leaving the viewer feeling confused at certain points, or patronized by it's simplicity.

The music is excellent, setting the mood for each scene convincingly, when required and gets the Adrenalin going, around the action and especially the fight sequences.
Overall, a gutsy, well polished piece that'll instantly make you want to get your fat arse get down the gym, before applying for assassin school and a new passport! Go and see it!
