Much better than I originally expected

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2003)

Bourne Identity is a movie about a dangerous assassin who has lost his memory and gradually recovers. One of the interesting parts is the way he gets his memory back, it's not like we're used to in most of the films, i.e. images from the past coming back, but by coming to realize his abilities, like fighting skills etc. Another part that makes this movie very nice to watch is that it's located in Europe, which gives it another 'air' than we're used to in Hollywood movies. I personally like this atmosphere very much (like in Ronin). I also found Franka Potente a very pleasant surprise (I haven't seen 'Lola Runs' yet but I definitely plan to now). Some might say that all in all it's just an adventure movie, perhaps better than the usual ones. But I definitely think it's more than that!
