a true depiction of modern espionage

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2008)

This is by far the best spy film ever made! It is very realistic with their display of realistic trade-craft, and real "gadgets". I enjoy the Bond films but I fell they are nothing in comparison to the Bourne identity or the Bourne movies that followed. I definitely found it to be a much anticipated change from the modern cliché's often put out by the Bond films.
I greatly enjoyed the fight scenes throughout the movie for their short and snappy appearance which is much more like a real fight. All of Bourne's gadgets are real and can be bought by anyone so I think it makes it all the better. In the Bond films he relied greatly on gadgets and gizmo's and the films where all around very fictionalized and pale in comparison to the Bourne movies.
