first in the Bourne series(8.6/10)

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2007)

this is in great movie.it has tons of action,spectacular fight scenes,beautiful locales.it's a very taut,intelligent movie with a very good story.Doug Lyman directs and does a superb job.Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne,and is incredible in the role.the guy can act,that's for sure.Franka Potente plays a pretty big role as well.there is also a great supporting cast.the dramatic moments are done very well and are very compelling.there's lots of suspense and tension,as well as some twists and turns.i liked the characters themselves,as well as each how each actor made their roles their own.as this type of movie (Spy/intigue)goes,this is one of the best of the genre.it should keep you glued to your seat for the 119 minute running time.if you like this movie,you might also want to check out Mr.and Mrs.Smith(and vice versa),also directed by Doug Lyman.for me,The Bourne Identity is an 8.6/10.
