Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2002)

I just finished reading the book today. What an amazing novel. Chalked full of action, smart dialogue and intrigue. After finishing it I was wanting to see how the movie matched up. Boy did it not match up.
I know that movies never live up to the way the book plays out in your minds. But this movie has basically nothing in common with the book. Aside from the name and a few characters its totally different. Matt Damon does a good job as Jason Bourne. He is believable as the character. If only he was given a good script to follow. There is plenty of action and the fight scenes are pretty good.
I just can't get over how different it is from the book. This movie will be good for those who haven't read the book. It does carry itself well as a above average spy flick.
So if you've never read the book, go see the movie. You will be entertained, but it won't be something you'll remember in a few months. Those who have read the book? Steer clear, this movie doesn't hold a torch to it.
