THE BOURNE IDENTITY (Theatrical Release USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Bourne Identity—Matt Damon IS Jason Bourne—shows the best of Matt Damon. Terrific suspense, fast, and thrilling, action-packed with just the right amount of complicated storyline makes this a great adult watch. It’s a good addition to the home video library due to its quality of entertainment. This film makes one anticipate Part 2 in the series: Bourne Supremacy. Great work for Director Doug Liman.
