Excellent Depiction of Jason Bourne

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2016)

There have been previous attempts to bring Bourne to the screen, most notably the awful made for TV movie with Richard Chamberlin and Jaclyn Smith.
But this movie is one of my favourites that I can watch over and over again.
Mat Damon really carries this off and captures Robert Ludlums Jason Bourne. OK in the book he is slightly older but apart from that this movie is how I imagined things from reading the book.
There are things omitted, probably to keep the movie from going on too long, but it moves at a good pace and keeps you interested throughout.
All supporting actors are good, Franka Potente is very good and holds her own as Marie, Brian Cox is excellent as always and interesting to see both Clive Owen and Julia Stiles in relatively minor roles but carrying their parts off really well.
The director Doug Liman must surely get credit for bringing to the screen this complex and interesting character.
