Good Action Movie.

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2003)

`The Bourne Identity' was a good action movie. It had some exciting action scenes and car chases and, if not examined too much, a decent story. The story was somewhat conventional spy fare with double crosses and hidden agendas and was done in a style that didn't require a total suspension of belief in the laws of physics. Matt Damon was good and Franka Potente played a unconventional but intriguing female lead. Brian Cox and Clive Owen played their roles convincingly. Julie Stiles was good looking. There wasn't much else for her to do. The European setting was attractive and the scenes with the Mini were fun. For mindless fun it is worthy of a watch.
