Movie Review: The Bourne Identity


Title: The Bourne Identity
Rating: PG-13, i believe
Genre: Thriller
Starring: Matt Damon
I give this movie 9/10 stars

A man is picked up by a fishing boat off the Mediterranean. The doctor on board, thinking the man is dead, look him over and takes two bullets out of the man's back and finds a small silver device in his hip that reveals a bank account number. Much to his surprise this man is not dead and tries to attack him. After a little convincing, the strange man calms down and backs off. He doesnt remember anything prior to waking up on the boat. He can't even remember his name.

After a few weeks the fishing boat stops at a port and eventually the main character goes to Zurich. The mysterious man goes to retrieve whatever items he may find in his account and discovers several passports bearing the name "Jason Bourne", an overwhelming amount of money in all different sorts of currency, and a gun.

He soon discovers that people are after him, and he doesnt know why. And he can do things that normal people shouldn't know how to do. Like attacking two or more people at the same time before they can register whats happening.

With the help of Marie, an innocent bystander, Jason begins his search for his identity.
