The Movie That Forced James Bond To Get Serious. A Perfect Action Thriller.

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2019)

Take a look at the timeline... James Bond was floating around with feel good moments and big explosions... then came Jason Bourne (and $200+ million worldwide)... James Bond took a 4 year hiatus... The next James Bond movie featured Daniel Craig and a whole new tone, which has lasted for over 10 years now...
The tone, the lighting, the music score (Kudos to John Powell), the exceptional choreography, the more realistic car chases, the sections of minimal dialog - these are ALL techniques that were lifted for the Daniel Craig era James Bond films, as well as other series of lesser movies that I won't put over by naming here. 'The Bourne Identity' is a classic, and one of the greatest films of all time.
Congratulations to 'The Bourne Identity' (2002) for being the fourth RealReview Posting Perfect 10 Rated Film
