Summary: Bourne to Run, Jason, Run
Review: Bourne Identity is a pop-corn movie! In its own slick psychopathic way, it is a validation of the free- thinking individual. Matthew Damon surprised me with a characterization that made me believe he was old enough to be an accomplished and programmed CIA agent. Chris Cooper as his boss made my skin crawl. Franka Potente is marvelous as the femme vitale. From JasonÕs awakening at sea, to Zurich and through Paris, you will need a big bucket of popcorn because the suspense will make you chew faster. You could also accompany this thriller with Potente in Run, Lola, Run, the swashbuckling adventure Horseman on the Roof (LÕHussar sur la toit) and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. If you can find a copy of the BBC series SmileyÕs People (VHS), that would also be fun.

Summary: As good as it looks
Review: i always hated how trailers and previews always schmaltzed up the movies and edited through the best parts. Why not just pick crucial points ad/or scenes from the movie, so that we get a good idea what it's about? When i saw the Previews and trailer for this one, i immediately thought that same thing was going on. But when we got it on video, and i watched it for the first time, i realized that it was as complex, thrilling, and action-packed as it looks. There is adrenaline and "testosterone" in this movie, but enough plot to make the action more satisfying, and give it a point. Two complaints, however. When Bourne fights the guy who later jumps out the window, towards the beginning, stabs him twice with a blue pen, and throws him over the table and he lands on the floor, why does he just get back up and fight like it never happened? this must have been for style points, and it was kind of cool, but considering the plausibility of the rest of the story, i expected something a little more realistic. Also when he jumps off the balcony near the end and shoots two guys as he falls down like 4 flights of stairs, and lands on the guy, stops for a second, catches his breath, and gets up, the same thing applies. But these things should be taken lightly as they are, and of course, it IS hollywood. Great movie, up there with the Jack Ryan movies. Hope i didn't give too much away, but i think i did.

Summary: Good, light-hearted fun
Review: What I really like about this film is that it doesn't take itself seriously at all.The fast-paced fight scenes aren't at all believable. The main character has skills comparable to an entire team of highly trained operatives. The good news is that these outrageous elements blend right in with the light-hearted nature of the film. This film is refreshing in a time when the plots of most action films focus on some dreary "oh, no, I'm facing yet another apocalypse!"

Summary: Intelligent, well-cast thriller
Review: Having seen the excellent Richard Chamberlain mini-series of 'The Bourne Identity' when I was a kid (which is closer to the original Ludlum story than this - though that in itself does not make this movie any less worthy), I was looking forward to seeing a more modern take on the plot, complete with contemporary technology and hip young actors. This latest offering does not disappoint - it's gripping from start to finish. Damon in particular has a knack for drawing the audience in to his frantic, frightening world, and this enables us to empathise with his plight. Clever and fast-paced, it still has enough character development for us to feel some degree of emotion for the leads by the closing credits. In the same way that 'Enemy of the State' made us realise how easy it could be for corrupt government organisations to find almost anyone (and eliminate them if considered enough of a threat), this movie shows us how advanced communication technology is today, and how important it is to have the right checks and balances for groups with this much power. This does not mean we come away feeling like conspiracy theorists, as one never really feels that this is more than just excellent entertainment - nevertheless, it is not hard to see the potential for a story like this to exist.

Summary: Two Thumbs Up!
Review: I'm not a huge Matt Damon fan, so I didn't watch this immediately - but when I did I was quite pleasantly suprised. Good movie, nice pace, fabulous acting. I will be watching this one again and suggest you at least rent it!

Summary: Fun, lightweight
Review: This is a fun, liteweight movie that you can watch with anyone. Violence is lite, plot is lite, still fun. Better than bond.

Summary: Smart movie-craft...
Review: ...and that's how I took it. It doesn't follow the book, just the book's concept and that was the intention all along. Doug Liman has an interesting style of cinematic framing and use of both mounted and handheld cameras. This film has action without gratuitous violence and intamacy between hero and heroine without being explicit. There's even a worthy car chase (IMHO) featuring an original style Mini-Cooper done well before the IJ remake's release. Part of smart movie-making is leaving something for the audience's imagination and Liman does this However, the director can't do it alone so don't forget to make note of the editor's work too-some beautiful expanses of edited time I found preferable to the spectalcle of "Bullet-time". The directing, filming, and editing may harken back to earlier days but it employs some of those methods without being old-fashioned. It's mostly for these reasons that I enjoyed this production.
