The Bourne Identity
A man (Matt Damon) washes up on an island in the Mediterranean Sea, suffering from gunshot wounds and amnesia. He soon realizes he's being hunted down by assassins and that he's very good at killing them before they get him ... but the question of his identity perplexes him as he fights to stay alive. Franka Potente co-stars in this action thriller based on Robert Ludlum's novel.

Better than what I saw of the second one. - moviegenius
I think that this was a pretty good movie. Matt Damon is a pretty good actor and the action scenes were very entertaining. I think that this is a much more enjoyable film than the sequel, The Bourne Supremacy. I didn't see all of Bourne Supremacy. I just missed the first few minutes or so. I think that Bourne Identity didn't end as well as Bourne Supremacy. Bourne Supremacy had a great car chase at the end. In this film, Matt Damon kills a fat guy, jumps off a banister and shoots a guy while riding on the fat guy. Then, done. That's cool, but not enough. However, I think that this was a more interesting film than the second movie. See it.the series starts strong - outlander78
Bourne is a killer trying to learn who he is, but his real talent is his ability to survive anything the world's spy agencies and law enforcement agencies can throw at him. I read the books years ago, and think the movies do a good job of converting their main themes. My only complaint, and it is somewhat unfair, is that the movie unrelentingly grim - there is no pleasant part to it, nothing to laugh at, and no conclusion to feel that everything is going to be okay for the protagonists.the bourne identity - ab2207
I can't belive that it took me this long to watch the bourne trilogy ( this movie has been out for nine years), only wish I had watch them sooner. This is a well thought out action movie, that does not have all the over the top action that no one can belive. I really like that in a movie. Matt damon does a great job playing a assassin that has been brain washed by the goverment. If you like the high action films this is a much watch.
