Good Spy Action Flick

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2002)

I had the opportunity to see a test screening of the Bourne Identity far back in the Summer of 2001. Overall, I didn't feel that the film merited any special sort of awards, but it is a good film none the less.
Starring Matt Damon, and directed by Doug Liman (Go, Swingers) the film is about a spy who seems to be suffering from amnesia. Meanwhile, assassins are sent to stop him before he remembers whatever information he was supposed to have forgotten. The film is based on a book by Robert Ludlum.
In comparison to this summers OTHER big spy thriller The Sum of All Fears, this is filled with my action rather then political drama. Not that political drama is a bad thing, but that sort of thing doesn't appeal to all crowds. If you like the "James Bondie" type spy thrillers The Bourne Identity is your game. Overall, a good summer action movie! Check it out!
