Review
Before I saw The Bourne Legacy on the big screen, I wanted to see the other Bourne movies with Matt Damon in the lead role. Now that the new Jason Bourne picture is out in theatres, I want to watch all four of these films in order before I see them.
THE BOURNE IDENTITY is the game-changer of the spy-fiction sub-genre for its realism and cold atmosphere, much like the latest James Bond movies. It's packed with intense scenes and riveting action. Director Doug Liman, who launched a successful career with the first movie of the saga, adapted this gritty spy action thriller.
Matt Damon is top-notch and brilliantly portrays the amnesiac fugitive hero Jason Bourne, who finds himself in a predicament where people are trying to hunt him down. Chris Cooper, Brian Cox and Julia Stiles are well-casted in the supporting roles. One of the best moments in IDENTITY is the car chase sequence, which excels as one of the most memorable drive chase scenes in movie history. Complimenting the action movie is the violent choreography, based on Bruce Lee's fighting style of Jeet Kune Do.
This movie kept me hooked from start to finish, and the story was intriguing and well-crafted. The actors were enjoyable, and the movie's pacing kept viewers engaged. I recommend watching THE BOURNE IDENTITY, and even though it is now somewhat of an older film, it is still very modern and relevant.
