Better than Bond

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2003)

I haven't read the book so I can't comment on the faithfulness of the film as an adaptation but standing alone I thought it a very impressive espionage thriller. Damon (with his Chicklet like capped teeth) was very believable as Bourne and the rest of the cast was more than competent. The stunts and martial arts choreography were very exciting and exhilarating and were executed (no pun intended) most impressively. I look forward to further installments in the franchise. Recommended, 8/10.
