Bourne, not boring

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2002)

I've read other reviewers' comments, cliched and such, but this is a much better action, spy thriller than "The Sum of All Fears," or even "Bad Company," and certainly a much better movie than "Changing Lanes." True, there are shades of "39 Steps" and countless other spy thrillers but this one grabs your attention and takes you for a fast ride. There are some spooky moments in the movie and a great car chase. The acting is also very good. This is a much better version of the Robert Ludlum novel than the old made-for-television one that came out in 1988. When I saw "The Sum of All Fears," I felt cheated. I came out of this movie thinking I had got my money's worth.
