	THE BOURNE IDENTITY - COLLECTOR'S EDITION (WIDESCREEN) DVD
		The Bourne Identity is a composition of gestures stripped of romance and presented in their barest forms.
		The Bourne Identity offers almost nothing in the way of conventional solutions to its puzzles--it isn't that the plot is particularly Byzantine, it's that the film steadfastly resists providing the resolutions that jaded audiences have come to expect.
		The Bourne Identity is brilliant filmmaking, a testament to the editor's craft (Saar Klein) scored by a wise low-key techno-orchestration by composer John Powell that speaks to Liman's knack for using music to augment a scene (while leaving it unobscured) rather than narrate it.

	The Bourne Identity (2002). A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Filmed entirely overseas, in locations including Prague, Paris and Italy, The Bourne Identity boasts an international cast headed by Franke Potente (Run, Lola, Run), and Chris Cooper (American Beauty, October Sky).
		As Bourne and Marie struggle to stay below the radar in France, all of the stealthy muscle of Treadstone is focused on tracking them and neutralizing Bourne as quickly and efficiently as possible.
		Bourne is shot in the back as he flees the scene and falls into the ocean.

	The Bourne Identity
		Thinking more about it, "The Bourne Identity's" success hinged on excitement-an excitement generated by three factors: a sense of momentum that kept me engaged, unique action set pieces that did not overstay their welcome, and filmmakers who seemed just as interested in making this adventure fun as they did in making it believable.
		Let's face it, most action films are fairly similar: There is a mission that needs to be accomplished, the film's hero is the only one that can do it, he is able to shoot most of the bad guys in elaborate ways and none of the bad guys can seem to hit him.
		This film does not take itself as seriously as they claim, but is fun from the first frame to the last, employing a paper thin story to hold it all together.

	The Bourne Identity: Cinephiles Movie Review
		The Bourne Identity, directed by Doug Liman (Swingers) and based on the novel by Robert Ludlum, focuses on a young, male protagonist who struggles to recover from amnesia, yet who finds instead strong incentives not to, after gathering enough evidence that point to his turbulent past and an extremely risky profession.
		The Bourne Identity tries to create suspense by assigning its character the difficult mission of piecing together evidence that may reveal his true identity and bring back his memory, while simultaneously establishing the convenience of being assumed dead by his enemies.
		However, when dangerous enemies discover Jason Bourne is alive and launch their searches, the plot degenerates into a series of persecution scenes that sacrifice further character development in favor of thrill-seeking action.

	The Bourne Identity at DVDwolf.com
		It's a great backdrop for a romance film, for a period piece or comedy and it was perfect for The Bourne Identity, but I found so many things to be perfect about the Bourne Identity that this will be less a review than a handshake and slap on the back for the film.
		From that point on Bourne is trying to piece together his identity while we realize that the C.I.A. figures they have a rogue operator and wake all their sleeper agents to take the man out.
		No major whacky gadgets, character moments between Bourne and Marie (Potente) that are sweet and believable, and little spy things like taking the radio of a dead operative and grabbing a fire exit plan from the wall as his guide during a chase through an American Embassy.

	The Bourne Supremacy
		The Bourne Identity was directed by Doug Liman, an unusually gifted indie punk blessed with a screenplay by Tony Gilroy that touched on a lot of the same existential hallmarks as Blade Runner.
		Stripped of embellishment, The Bourne Identity is almost a textbook on movement and gesture, as purely cinematic an action film as any to come down the pike since the heyday of the '70s British gangster genre.
		Bourne tries to live a peaceful life but is haunted first by the same nightmare, then by his old employers, who believe him to be responsible for a few unconnected events.

	The Bourne Identity film movie trailer review at The Z Review
		He has no idea of his identity except for a range of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistic skills and self-defense that speak of a dangerous past.
		Dealing with the concept of an amnesia ridden character, I believe if the film is either smart, like Memento (2001), or has a concrete use of the amnesia, like Conspiracy Theory (1997), and then it works very well.
		The Bourne Identity is directed by Swingers and Go helmer Doug Liman and features the acting talents of Matt Damon in the lead role.

	Bourne Identity
		One of the names contained on the numerous passports in the bag was Jason Bourne, the name now adopted by the healing man. He hires a gypsy woman Marie (Franka Potente) to drive him to Paris and the stage is set for almost non-stop action.
		Bourne is a very dangerous man, one trained in all the marital arts, several languages and almost inhuman powers of observation.
		Bourne is a departure from his other films such as Go and Swingers but he carries over his respect for his craft.

	Filmtracks: The Bourne Identity (John Powell)
		The Bourne Identity: (John Powell) When Robert Ludlum was sitting and writing his internationally famed three thriller novels involving the talented spy Jason Bourne, it is doubtful that he had this music by John Powell in mind.
		The first of the trilogy of stories, The Bourne Identity was a bestseller in its initial release in 1980 and the 2002 interpretation of the story by director Doug Liman on the big screen follows the same nervous, frenetic, and action-packed feeling of determination.
		But the recent film version of the story is a 21st Century techno-thriller with all the modern gadgets and super-fighting that films have been anxiously developing for modern audiences.

	The Bourne Identity review
		Saved by fisherman, Bourne doesn't know who or where he is. He has a safety deposit box number, though, so he travels to Switzerland to claim his box full of passports, cash and a gun.
		Enter the hotel, count the paces to the middle of the lobby, note how many people are around you, blah blah blah—he quickly returns with the coveted hotel bill after merely asking the clerk to make a photocopy for her.
		Bourne is hunting for his identity and since we already know it shouldn't take him that long.

	The Bourne Identity film review
		Portrayed definitively by Matt Damon, Bourne, the cool and methodical star of author Robert Ludlum's trilogy, is a worthy addition to the list of memorable screen assassins.
		The film's innovative car chase (a worthy homage to The Italian Job) and fight sequences are greeted with cheers and laughter rather than the yawns prompted by the majority of such familiar scenes.
		Bourne is keen to distance himself from the violent person he once was, just as soon as he can discover exactly who that person is. He finds help in the attractive form of Marie (Franka Potente), a rootless spirit whom he pays to drive him to Paris.

	The Bourne Identity Movie Review - MovieWeb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		A clueless Bourne seeks refuge in the American embassy, but he is equally unsafe there and relies on his extraordinary physical and mental abilities to escape his unknown adversaries.
		Bourne hastily employs a gypsy named Marie (Franka Potente from Run Lola Run) outside the embassy, offering her $10,000 to help him elude his pursuers and drive him to Paris, where he believes his true identity can be found.
		Identity bears little resemblance to Limanâs previous film efforts which were set in dreary Los Angeles where twenty-somethingâs discuss their single lifestyles.

	Bourne Identity, The (2002): Reviews
		Its scenes and sensibility are all more than familiar, but it exudes a kind of nostalgic spy-movie charm and, at the same time, is so fresh and free of the usual thriller nonsense that it all seems to be happening for the first time.
		Entertaining, handsome and gripping, The Bourne Identity is something of an anomaly among big-budget summer blockbusters: a thriller with some brains and feeling behind it, more attuned to story and character than to spectacle.
		The Bourne Identity keeps you in a state of nervous excitation from the opening shot to the fade-out and has a thread of deadpan humor that vibrates alongside the main action like a third rail quivering next to a hurtling train.

		The film opens with an Italian fishing boat finding a man’s body with two bullets in his back and a microfilm implanted in his hip, floating in the sea.
		The Bourne Identity gets the adrenalin going as it gathers momentum and turns into a edge-of-the-seat suspense action drama of the kinds one hasn’t seen in recent times.
		The film was shot on location in cities across Europe and the cinematography is simply awesome.

	The Mediadrome - Film - Reviews: The Bourne Identity
		In the new thriller The Bourne Identity, Matt Damon is all by himself, the fate of the movie resting almost entirely on his shoulders.
		Loosely based on the 1980 novel by the late Robert Ludlum, the film opens with Damon's character being rescued from the Mediterranean Sea by a European fishing boat.
		On the run, Damon's Bourne comes to realize that he bears certain unnatural "skills," such as an advanced knowledge of martial arts, the keen ability to find an exit route from any building and being able to speak in multiple languages.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Bourne Identity" review (2002) Doug Liman, Matt Damon, Franka Potente
		Adapted from the slick and savvy novel by the late Robert Ludlum (whose two sequels are waiting in the wings), the picture stars Matt Damon in a sharply focused performance as a mysterious man found floating in the Mediterranean Sea with two bullet holes in his back and a wicked case of amnesia.
		He never resorts to MTV-style editing, and uses the film's score of energetic electronica (by often-experimental composer John Powell who scored "Face/Off," "Antz" and "Shrek") as the background track it should be.
		Like "Ronin" and the first "Mission: Impossible" film, "The Bourne Identity" is a complex espionage-fueled action flick that respects the viewer enough to let you connect some of the dots yourself.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Bourne Identity
		Though relatively colorless, the film's CIA agents still talk and walk like CIA agents (Brian Cox, as a mysterious government official, all but steals the show with a literal wink at the audience).
		Marie (Potente) is Bonnie to Jason's Clyde and while her presence, like the film itself, feels superfluous at best, she still gives a mean haircut (set to John Powell's techno-symphonic score).
		Bourne Identity may not work as a full-fledged spy thriller or as an identity crisis pot boiler, but thanks to Liman's near effortless direction, the genre gumbo is like butter.

	UGO.com Film/TV - The Bourne Identity review
		There's a moment in The Bourne Identity when the hero, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is sitting in a European diner with Maria (Franka Potente) a woman who's giving him a ride.
		He has no idea who he is, and the only clue to his identity is a laser gadget that was embedded in his hip, giving a number to a Swiss bank account.
		Bourne is definitely high summer fare - it's smart and compelling, has impressive action, but depends on the story to propel it along.

		The film was shot in Paris and the Czech Republic.
		This first film, starring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne; a highly trained and intelligent CIA field agent with a photographic memory, proficiency in many languages, and most importantly [for his specialty] a one man killing machine.
		Bourne, having failed in his mission, has become a liability, and the high-level desk jockeys back in DC are in full CYA mode.

		Matt Damon thriller The Bourne Identity has entered the UK and Ireland box office chart at number one, taking more than £2m in its first three days.
		The film - which its star said was too violent for its 12A rating - pushed Insomnia, which earned £839,500, down to number two in the chart.
		Billed as a "tinned spaghetti Western", the film stars Robert Carlyle, Rhys Ifans, Kathy Burke and Ricky Tomlinson and transplants a Western-style storyline to a working-class milieu in the West Midlands.

	The Bourne Identity : film review
		Although completely without identity or background, he does possess an array of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defence that speak of a dangerous past.
		Bourne has no idea what he would use these items for or who he is, but it seems others do, recognise him - and want him dead.
		He put on over twenty pounds in weight to play Jason Bourne, and it shows - gone is the slender, boyish Damon of The Talented Mr Ripley, to be replaced by a bulky creature who more than once reminds of Mark Wahlburg.

	The Bourne Identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bourne Identity is a 1980 spy fiction thriller by Robert Ludlum about an amnesiac who must discover who he is and why several different groups, including an assassin and the CIA, are trying to kill him.
		In Zürich, the protagonist learns that his name is Jason Bourne; and, while attempting to retrace his steps on his previous visit to the city, attracts the attention of several people who either fear him, warn him of danger, or try to kill him (but all unhelpfully assume that he already knows why).
		The 1988 miniseries is reasonably true to the plot of the novel, but the film was changed to exclude the subplot about assassin "Carlos" and, equally or more significantly, the fact of Bourne's innocence — it is maintained that he actually was an assassin (though of CIA employ).

	The Popkorn Junkie :: The Bourne Identity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		This body belongs to Bourne who is actually alive but is found to have been shot a few times in the back and evidently thrown into the ocean to die.
		The score and music invigorates the movie and adds to the excitement and tension as Bourne tries to discover exactly who and what he is. The fight scenes are good and Bourne's martial arts skills are very believable with the way the scenes are filmed.
		"The Bourne Identity" is an exciting, pulse-pounding adventure that is directed with great pinache by Doug Liman, who also did "Swingers" and the fast-paced action/comedy "Go." This movie also moves at a frenetic, relentless pace and I can honestly say there's never a dull moment.
