Outstanding and overlooked Martial Arts Film

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2003)

Of all the years I have studied Martial Arts and the different styles, The Bourne Identity is the most realistic display of street defense in the arts. The movie is not an overkill of martial arts display but has a realistic touch of what to do in the street that is quite efficient against multiple armed attackers and unarmed attackers. It lacks the exaggerated useless moves of most boring martial arts films. The modest but effective choreographic scenes in this film could be used for realistic training purposes. They are outstanding.
