Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
tracylong-09623 The Bourne Identity introduced Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and he is simply amazing. Doug Liman is great at action sequences as well as pacing the film and he excels here. Damon is, as already enthusiastically mentioned above, really good as the spy Jason Bourne who is found in a state of confusion when the film begins. I never got the chance to see the rest of the films but this was a very good thriller from Liman which reminds me to go see them.
Takeshi-K This espionage movie is the first in the series of Jason Bourne films based on the popular coterie of books of the same name. They succeed where the current James Bond films fail. While Daniel Craig's sociopath Bond wallows in self loathing and psychopathy, the emotional sub plot in the Jason Bourne films are direct, focused and sensible.It makes sense for a man that has lost his memory to desperately try and figure out who he is, even without highly trained assassins dogging his every move. Throughout the series, he attempts to make amends for his nefarious espionage past and in doing so, blazes a path toward redemption. Having read two of the originals books this series is based upon, I can say that the Jason Bourne character is actually better fleshed out in the films and no doubt intellectual actor Matt Damon had a lot to do with that. This is an excellent action espionage series of films.
Parker Lewis It's interesting to reflect on Bourne I and how social media was in its infancy, and then full blown by the time Jason Bourne was released in 2016. Here there are no CIA close-up shots of Jason running through the streets of beautiful Paris, getting dressed, utilizing his mobile, and so on. It's sort of gumshoe surveillance for the times, 2002.There's full blown plot and action in Bourne I, and I was impressed big time. If you need Bourne to sort out a dispute for you, he won't let you down.Bourne I was released in the era of Bush II and Blair, and by the time we get to Jason Bourne in 2016, Trump is on the brink of being elected to the White House.
Aaroon This is one of the best movies and things to ever exist in the history of the universe. I love this movie so much and it is an absolute must- see in my completely honest opinion. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this movie but let's just say it's a lot. Everything about this movie is incredible...and the soundtrack is just incredible by John Powell. Here on IMDb I can only give this movie a maximum of 10 out of 10, but my true rating is 1,000 out of 10.
