The Bore Identity is more like it...

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2002)

Spy movies are probably the most tired out genre in action flicks. They've been done to death and yet studios still think they'll be able to get it right by copying the old movies and reviving them.
This movie starts off okay, but it loses its momentum the longer it runs. The first problem with this movie is the story. Once you piece together that Jason's a CIA assassin, the movie just turns into an action set piece flick.
The chase is on, and every fifteen minutes, you get some action. But the in between scenes are what should make the movie count, but unfortunately, they're just boring.
Jason's character has nothing much to say except, "Who am I?" And his female partner, Marie, is a little too easily wooed by a killer.

There is no mystery to the movie, which would've actually helped. The villains aren't interesting at all. You get a vastly under used Clive Owen and "always playing an asshole" Chris Cooper. That's about it.
There isn't much suspense in the film, and the only memorable parts are a car chase in Paris, and when Jason uses a dead body to break his fall of about 4 stories... (even after the fall, I at least wanted to see some plausible injury, but no...).
Overall, this movie was forgettable. I'd wait for it to come on HBO. I love popcorn flicks as much as the next guy, but this movie didn't have much going for it.
