The Bourne Identity

Post by blade »

If you are considering seeing Minority Report do yourself a big flavor and see this movie instead. It's far more entertaining and a very pleasant surprise.

Has Matt Damon in it and I've never cared that much for him (though he was ok) and thought of him as a character actor thanks to his roles in saving private ryan and oceans eleven. He did well but he just seemed to be more a character actor than a main star.

Well, darn if he didn't seem absolutely perfect for this movie and he played the part very well and is a better action star than tommy cruise could ever think to be in his wildest dreams.

Basically he's found floating in the ocean and was shot twice in the back but he survives, though he has no idea who he is. Who he is is kind of like a secret agent and many want him killed, but his skills come back to him when he is threatened. Then unraveling who he really is makes this a lot of fun.

Don't want to say more but this is a kicker of a movie and one that will be on my DVD list. :)

Yep good movie. Nothing cheesy about it, and the action supported the decent storyline which is what makes a good movie. I felt it was worth seeing at the theater...

Have you seen Minority Report yet?

I think Bourne Identity is probably a better bet too.

I saw it, it was good

the only thing I DIDNT like, was the actress.
At the beginning, she had the american accent. Halfway through she had that european accent. Then at the end she had that american accent again. :bonk
Gone for good. But never say never
