exciting and tense

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2002)

I was pleasantly surprised at Matt Damon's performance as an action hero. Though he sports a very young, innocent face he was portraying a human lethal weapon of sorts. It was at first confusing and doubtful but I found myself enjoying his performance more and more as the movie continued. Franka's performance was quite good, though a story line where someone falls so hard for someone they not only just met but who is a killer, seemed a bit much. There didn't seem to be enough time to really explain all parts of the story and I was confused at times. As it started concentrating more and more on Bourne's fight for his memory and life I started to really believe him as a lethally trained spy. I would like to see it again to watch the great action sequences as well as understand more of the plot line. It was not profound but pure entertainment. Found myself liking Matt Damon more than before. I recommend it for the action scenes and mystery aspects. Always been a sucker for a good mystery. Watching Damon's performance was plus.
