Intelligent action

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2003)

Finally, an action movie where cars don't automatically explode on impact and an action sequence doesn't have to be capped off by a witty remark. I was completely impressed by the credit the filmmakers gave the audience.
Beyond the lack of cliches, the acting was able and solid. The actors took the characters to a level not achieved in the novel and the characters made the action more believable. Though the story strays FAR from the novel, I found it engaging though, like the other reviewer, a little "happy Hollywood" for my taste. The Bourne character in the novel is much darker.
If you are looking for real action with bite that doesn't make you feel like you could be watching pro wrestling, this is the movie for you.
