	The Bourne Identity (2002). A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		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.
		The underlying message of the movie was interesting, however, the title of this film is a dead give away.
		Bourne is shot in the back as he flees the scene and falls into the ocean.

	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.

		With news that his latest assignment was not successful and no trace of contact from their agent, Bourne’s government superiors (led by Chris Cooper) assume that he has gone rogue, and after he is located, they dispatch a series of assassins to hunt Bourne and tie up the necessary loose ends.
		But Jason, on a quest to discover his identity, finds a vital ally in a German woman (Franka Potente) whom he will provide with $20,000 for a ride to Paris, but in close pursuit are the hit-men trained in Bourne’s own trade, including the ruthless “Professor” (played by the great Clive Owen, star of “Croupier”).
		In the end, “The Bourne Identity” is a lot of fun, not only for its high-tech elements but also for its intelligent characterizations and deft handling of such a straightforward story.

	DITA reviews "The Bourne Identity" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This is what you already know, but I'll be an ass and bother you with it: "The Bourne Identity" stars Matt Damon, Franka Potente ("Run Lola Run" and "The Princess and the Warrior"), Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Clive Owen and Adewale.
		The original "Bourne" was a TV special that aired in 1988 and starred Richard Chamberlain.
		A romance between them forms throughout the movie that's "gotta-be." Jason and Marie (she especially) are both likeable characters and we can care for them.

	2002 The Bourne Identity - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Set against dramatic European backdrops, THE BOURNE IDENTITY is the story of a man (Matt Damon), salvaged, near death, from the ocean by the crew of an Italian fishing boat.
		Dealing with the unfortunate Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), who is found floating in the sea off the coast of France with two shots in his back and a case of total amnesia, it takes someone who is obviously a government agent and makes him the object instead of the subject of pursuit.
		As Bourne escapes, enlisting a stranger named Marie Kreutz (Franka Potente) to drive him halfway across Europe, we don't really appreciate the irony of the situation; all we know is that we have a hero in trouble and a Morris Mini to facilitate a car chase.

	The Bourne Identity - Movie Review
		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 Liman’s previous film efforts which were set in dreary Los Angeles where twenty-something’s discuss their single lifestyles.

		The action opens as Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea, barely alive, with bullets in his back and a Swiss bank account ID probe implanted on his person.
		The boat docks and its captain gives Bourne, still clueless to his lethal identity, train fare to Zurich where the mysterious electronic bank ID opens a safety deposit box bulging with big pistols, six passports, and $4 million in assorted currencies.
		Jason Bourne seems as surprised as anyone when the true nature of his character is gradually revealed.

	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 movie review
		That's the premise behind The Bourne Identity, a man trying to solve the mystery of who he is, when the answer to that question certainly isn't a simple one.
		After a bit of checking at a bank he discovers he is most likely Jason Bourne, though there is a bit of a question in that regard due to his circumstances.
		The only thing that kept this movie from a perfect 5 star rating was it's pacing, it was just a tad slow at times.

	The Bourne Identity review *** - CTF
		Perhaps what impressed me most about "The Bourne Identity," directed by Doug Liman ("Go" 1999, "Swingers" 1996), was its constant sense of realism amidst a fictional plot, and outrageous fight and stunt sequences.
		It didn't try to mimic movies like James Bond, which are highly fictional films that are successful because we fully accept them as such, and they are unique in their own right.
		Although it lacked the drama and character attachment of some films like it, such as "The Fugitive" (1993), "The Bourne Identity" was an enjoyable film with an interesting premise, and it didn't fail to satisfy in the end.

		But the movie is still a relic of the bipolar Cold War, and suffers from a fatal lack of purpose.
		Clive Owen is in the movie as well (not driving a BMW though) and while his role is small, he performs well especially as he talks about his life and sacrifices.
		Bourne, having failed in his mission, has become a liability, and the high-level desk jockeys back in DC are in full CYA mode.

	The Bourne Identity Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Thickening the plot is Bourne's inexplicable command of a half-dozen languages — including Dutch, German, and French — and the small matter of the heavily armed men who try to kill him at every turn.
		It soon becomes clear to Bourne and Marie (Franka Potente) —; the German girl who unwisely gives him a ride to Paris —; that he is mixed up with the CIA.
		As amnesiac super spy Jason Bourne, Damon is appealingly vulnerable in his confusion, but coldly efficient in his plotting and butt-kicking, making him the perfect hero for an action movie that's as much about character as it is about saving the day.

	The Bourne Identity (2002) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		The Bourne Identity is based on a Robert Ludlum pulp novel, and features Damon as a man with amnesia.
		And while we're on the topic of killing, The Bourne Identity is surprisingly vicious for a PG-13 rated flick.
		The Bourne Identity seemed fun while I was watching it, but when it was all over, I didn't go away very satisfied.

		Set loose in Europe, Jason tries to put the pieces of his life together (including his rapidly emerging ability to inflict violence when prompted) as it becomes clear that this dangerous and mysterious man is suffering from amnesia.
		Bourne is helped by Marie (Franka Potente, “The Princess And The Warrior,” “Run Lola Run”), a German woman desperate for cash, who takes Jason out of the dangerous hive of Paris to safety, but soon finds herself in deeper trouble than Bourne.
		And that’s the beauty of “The Bourne Identity.” It’s a story (here based on the best selling series by Robert Ludlum) that’s been in play many times before, and Liman takes the challenge head on.

	Movie Review - The Bourne Identity - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		I was just jotting in my notes that "The Bourne Identity" has an intriguing start but then falls into a rut, when suddenly a man in the film leaped through a window and started shooting at people.
		Because there are generally unwilling partners in these sorts of films, Bourne teams up with Marie (Franka Potente), a down-on-her-luck German gal who helps him elude the men who are, for reasons unknown to him, trying to kill him.
		In reconstructing his life, Bourne is able to learn scant few details about himself or his career, and so there's little to look at in terms of his reactions, his plans, and so on.

		Plus, The Bourne Identity may spell franchise, since it was the first in a successful trilogy for Ludlum.
		It turns out that Bourne is part of a covert CIA operation called Treadstone, and Ted Conklin (Chris Cooper, The Patriot, Me, Myself, and Irene) is his supervisor.
		There is not much substance to Bourne or his predicament, and this is including the fact he does not know who he is. He is more lucky in finding clues to his past than anything else.

	The Bourne Identity Review
		Between spoofs (“Undercover Brother,” “Austin Powers 3”), kid movies (“Spy Kids 2”), James Bond (in the fall), and Ben Affleck’s “Sum of All Fears,” 2002 is the year of dagger and cloak.
		The movie version of the story ends with some satisfaction, but mostly a wide-open door for possible sequels.
		The movie also implies that the two leads have sex, though nothing is shown.

		As THE BOURNE IDENTITY begins, a man who may or may not be Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea and is hauled onto a fishing boat.
		Within minutes, Bourne is on the run from a seemingly ever-present agency, relying on language and fighting skills he didn't even know he possessed.
		Doug Liman's adaptation of Robert Ludlum's best-selling novel is a remarkable exercise in straightforward storytelling, with the director wisely choosing to focus on Bourne and his quest for identity.
