Good but the TV version is better

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2004)

Modern day life contemporises this Ludlum tale written way back in the 80's. The car chase sequence in Paris is the highlight of the film reminiscent of The Italian Job and Ronin. Matt Damon goes through his part almost lifelessly compared with Richard Chamberlain in the TV version. Same goes for Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) who is the female interest, compared to Jaclyn Smith in the TV version again. The TV movie was a better translation of the book.
Suggest, get your hands on the TV movie first and then watch Damon's Bourne. You will know what i mean.
