Slow plot but good fight scenes

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2003)

I really like the fight scenes with Matt Damon. He shows some really cool moves as a trained assassin. The story was OK, but it does drag in parts. And I really didn't like the lead actress. I don't think she and Damon had much chemistry and they didn't do a lot together, so I didn't buy them falling in love on their short adventure together. The car chase scene was OK, but there just wasn't anything special about it. Plus, we knew Damon would get away at the end since it was in the middle of the movie. Of course, it does have some things that don't make sense. Like why bother trying to kill Jason Borne if he has no memory of what he did. And then they let him go in the end. Why not finish the job? Plus what was going on at the CIA never made much sense.
FINAL VERDICT: The best part of this movie is the hot Matt Damon. Too bad he didn't have several scenes with no shirt. There are some cool hand to hand combat scenes, but the whole story seemed more like a made for TV movie. I don't know how it could have cost $75 million to make. I recommend it if you like spy movies or Matt Damon, but if you like really fast paced movies then you may want to skip this.
