The victim of the spy will spy you

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2006)

I'm not a keen fan of spy movies, in fact, I have never seen one in my life, But when I watched The Bourne Identity, my style of movie completely changed in the space of less than 6 months, I used to like action movies such as Speed and Saving Private Ryan, which were arguably the best action films of the nineties. But this is now the 20th century, the time when films should have taken a few steps forward towards high entertainment. Thankfully, The Bourne Identity shows the best example of a futuristic action spy thriller with Matt Damon playing Jason Bourne, a 30 million dollar weapon as an assassin who suffers from amnesia, gets shot and loses his memory. The film takes us on a worldwide journey to find out exactly who he is. Being tracked down by surprising characters, Bourne finds clues as he makes the most of this roller-coaster ride using his energy to battle against his hunters in kung-fu style fights, exhilarating car chases, and of course the weapon he uses not so often, a brain. I have in fact seen The Bourne Supremacy as well, and thats even better but this is the start of many Bourne movies to come in the next few decades. This is the new Bond era but with amnesia, I don't think Damon can even remember the Bond movies!!!!!!! Superb!!!!!!!
