Action has a new name

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2002)

Where to start off on a movie like this. Matt Damon prooves himself a worthy action star as he runs, jumps, crawls, climbes, punches, kicks and shoots his way to freedom. This could very well be the best action movie since last year when Slyvester Stallone toar up the screen in Get Carter. This movie is what u get when you take Long Kiss Goodnight and mix it with Universial Soilder and add just a bit of Misson Impossible on top with a story that is somewhat similar to that of The Replacement Killers, yes it is that good. Damon is Bounre, or at least he thinks. See he can't remember who he is or what he does but he sure does know how to kick some serious ass. His body is found in the water with two bullet holes in his back and a device in his hip with a saftey depostie box number on it. In the box he finds a bunch of fake passports, lots of money and a gun. Now the real journey begins because someone wants Bourne dead and he is on a misson to find out who he is and who he is running from. Damon and Run Lola Run star Franka Potente have perfect chemestry on the screen and Chris Cooper is perfect as the man who wants Bourne dead. This movie also has one thrill ride of a car chase in it and many great action scenes that with have your blood racing and even though it runs about two hours long it never once becomes boring or over wrote, there are even a few good one liners from Potente. This is the way action movies should be made and I hope to see Damon in many more to come because he is the perfect action movie star. If you only go to see one movie this summer do yourself a favour and make it The Bourne Identity.
