a man runs from a past he cannot remember...how far he will get is the question

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2004)

THE BOURNE IDENITY is a tale of a black operations assasin with amnesia who is being hunted by several mob factions including the CIA. The gun play in the film takes a back seat to fine weaved plot. This film doesn't make the mistakes of earlier films like RONIN. THE BOURNE IDENTITY has great action and adventure but this isn't another mile a minute DIE HARD movie. Instead of insulting your intelligence the conjure up a wonderful piece of brain candy which appeals to those who like a thinking persons film. The plot is thrown out like a puzzle as viewers watch as the director and the producers connect the pices of bournes identity and how he was left for dead in the opening. I recommend this film to all Robert Ludlum fans and fans who liked MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 1. I also recommend this to fans of the spy genre.
