Based on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name, The Bourne Identity (2002) is one of the craftiest action thriller films ever made. Doug Liman, who also co-produced the movie, is an accomplished director who gives both genuine intelligence and depth to this brilliant feature, which stars Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. A man who was shot, left for dead, rescued at sea, and suffers from extreme memory loss. Bourne finds the first clues about his past self in Zurich, Switzerland before heading to Paris, then the center of France and finally Greece. Where he can reunite with his love interest, played by Franka Potente, who teamed up until halfway through the story, before Jason let her go to protect her from the clandestine CIA conspirators he faces in the final showdown.
