The Bourne Identity

7.5/10
Damon was great the action was as well. Interesting concept with the amnesia. Nothing revolutionary here but overall a solid action movie

great start to a great series

Great concept but I feel like the character didn’t really live up to who he was meant to be.

wicked guy

readable plot not bad for 2002
unconnected and a bunch of assassins hanging around made it less good and connected to you.

The Bourne identity takes the espionage genre and adds some much needed grittiness and believability. In an era where they were becoming tongue in cheek this one walks so others can run. A few minor gripes with how it aged but a solid starting point.
