Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, The Bourne Identity starts fast and never slows down. The twisting plot revs up in Zurich, where amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), with no memory of his name, profession, or recent activities, recruits a penniless German traveler (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) to assist in solving the puzzle of his missing identity. While his CIA superior (Chris Cooper) dispatches assassins to kill Bourne and thus cover up his failed mission, Bourne exercises his lethal training to leave a trail of bodies from Switzerland to Paris. Director Doug Liman (Go) infuses Ludlum's intricate plotting with a maverick's eye for character detail, matching breathtaking action with the humorous, thrill-seeking chemistry of Damon and Potente. Previously made as a 1988 TV movie starring Richard Chamberlain, The Bourne Identity benefits from the sharp talent of rising stars, offering intelligent, crowd-pleasing excitement from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon

 A Man in Search of Identity March 11, 2010
Joseph J. Slevin (Carlsbad, CA United States)
Matt Damon really comes of age with The Bourne Identity. A James Bond on Steroids like character that seems to have made the Bond series get more intense with the likes of Daniel Craig as Bond.
There is definate passionate action here. We see a man who is washed out at sea, with amnesia, wondering who he is and why. Quickly he has an identity, yet too many in the form of multiple passports, and tons of cash, when he goes to a bank vault in Switzerland, that is the only form of information he has on him when he is rescued. Things go from the darkness of not knowing who you are to a mad rush to escape seeming capture. Not only that, he has all these amazing skills, martial arts, technical skills, ability to size up things where ever he goes. What does it all mean?
Additionally, as he escapes from one place where armed US Marines are chasing him, he happens along a young woman who is actually a drifter with no real place to go. He has money, identification, but who is he, and he has an address, lets go there. We flash back and forth from Bourne on the run and CIA headquarters, where his handlers are wondering where he had been for weeks, now he is run amok.
Although a very violent movie from the perspective of fighting and shootings, the movie is simply not bloody or full of gore. So, you can focus on the action and story, not the gore. Clive Owen plays a very serious focused asset of the CIA. He is like Bourne, trained to kill. He says very few words, and comes across as rather intense.
Franka Potente does a great job of his unwitting accomplice who gets more and more afraid, yet intrigued as she finds herself a part of international intrigue.
Damon, having played in a variety of less action type roles, really pulls off this one. He still looks like a kid, yet his acting overrides his youthful look.
The DVD has some great extras, you are taken behind the scenes with interviews of the actors as they do each part of the movie.
More Bourne to come of course as this eventually works its way into a trilogy.
Intense action with a human element February 25, 2010
C. Murphy (Lansdale, PA)
I am a big fan of this series. Matt Damon is perfect as the "broken" assasin who is trying to find out his real identity after he short-circuits after a botched assasination attempt. I won't bother with a full review of the movie but the action sequences are captivating while Damon's portrayal of Jason Bourne is very believable.
Awesome Movie, Awesome Sound January 23, 2010
Douglas Bomer (Meridian, Idaho USA)
i was wanting to buy this dvd at walmart, but then i though, hey... maybe amazon has it so i checked on here and they had a HD dvd version for about a 10th of the price, so i went for it, and i wasn't disappointed! the picture is amazing, and the sound is flawless (using Logitech Z5500 5.1 system via optical connection)! will definately be buying more HD DVD's in the future.
The Bourne Identity December 29, 2009
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A fine bit of spy-thriller and skillful action movie. This action thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole movie. It has some of the most awesome chase scenes. Matt Damon gives a believable depth to the Bourne character.
