A new genre!

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2005)

This movie is simply excellent. It's filled with action which, related to other movies, is realistic beyond comparison. The psychological phenomenon of amnesia just adds an adequate bit of mystery to the plot during the first part of the film.
The movie has an ingenious plot, with a failed assassination that the CIA has to prevent from leaking out by all means necessary, at risk of political turmoil and possibly a great loss off credibility and good reputation for the organization. Bourne is of course a great risk both because of his severe memory loss and that he mysteriously failed to complete the mission. Those upholding that the movie doesn't have a plot must be incredibly stupid. My advise to you is to stick with 'Bond' or 'Indiana Jones' where you haven't got to do the slightest bit of thinking yourselves.
