It would have been nice for someone to read the book!

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2002)

The closest resemblance to the Ludlum novel was in title only. It could have been called the "Jones" Identity and they would not have had to pay the author a penny. I'm still trying to figure out if this movie had a plot. It slammed covert ops, portrayed politicians as naive and dishonest(some element of truth), Jason Bourne as invincible, and the French police as bumbling idiots (another element of truth). Someday a screenwriter will read more, tamper less, and enjoy greater success. Save your money - enjoy the book.
