Plot: The best-selling suspense novel by late author Robert Ludlum comes to the screen for a second time, following a 1988 made-for-TV movie. Matt Damon stars as Jason Bourne, a barely alive amnesiac with a pair of bullet wounds in his back, pulled from the Mediterranean by Italian fishermen. Bourne's only clue to his own identity is a bank account number etched on a capsule implanted in his body. He quickly finds the Zurich bank where money, a gun, and a few identification documents await, but after he's pursued by security goons at the American consulate, Bourne realizes he can trust no one and offers a German gypsy named Marie (Franka Potente) ten thousand dollars for a ride to Paris. Encountering more professional killers bent on his destruction, Bourne discovers that he possesses a surprising degree of skill in combat, martial arts, and linguistics -- handy talents that clearly indicate his past includes work as a spy and assassin, but for whom? With Marie's reluctant help, Bourne edges closer to the truth, something CIA officials want concealed at all costs. The Bourne Identity co-stars Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Brian Cox, and Julia Stiles. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Who knew Matt Damon could make such an awesome Jason Bourne. The first in the series is action packed and looks amazing in HD.

Loads of Fun

This is an action thriller that is great from start to finish.

A man is rescued at sea. He has no memory of who he is or anything about him. He ends up being in some very tight spots and demonstrates that he has a wide variety of impressive fighting skills.

In his quest to figure out who he is, he connects with a young German woman, Marie (Franka Potente) who assists him throughout much of the show. As it goes along, he (Matt Damon) discovers that his name, or one of them, is Jason Bourne. It turns out that he is a CIA assassin. While he has amnesia, his employers think that he has gone rogue and are attempting to kill him.

All of this makes for a story with lots of action. The events take place all across Europe. It is really a very entertaining film that is a good one for any fan of action flicks.

Not as good as I thought it would be
Added 6/8/2009

I finally watched this movie on DVD and frankly, I don't see what all the hype and fuss was about when this movie was in theaters.

The movie,basically, is about Jason Bourne, apparently a government assassin, trying to find out his true identity. There were several things in the movie that I think left it disjointed and rather confusing. Throughout the movie a government program known is Treadstone is referenced. It's hinted that Bourne is part of this program, but even in the end it's never truly explained what this program is, or how Bourne is a part of it. Julia Stiles role in this movie also is never explained at all. She's just in it heading up some sort of listening post in Paris. I also did not like how this movie was filmed. The camera movements are simply annoying at times and I don't think add to the movie at all.

It's rather obvious, in my opinion, this movie was planned as a trilogy from the beginning and I don't like movies that "set me up" in order to make me come back to watch a second movie to find out things that should have been explained in the first one and in my opinion, that's just what this movie is doing.

I also did not think this movie was all that suspenseful or really was a very good thriller. If the filmmakers had taken care to fill in some details so I didn't have questions throughout the movie I might have been able to get into it more.

Perhaps I'll like the trilogy once I watch the other two movies, but as a stand alone movie The Bourne Identity just didn't impress me very much.
