I saw the movie, then I read the book, then I saw the movie again. I wish the film makers had gotten permission to use the elements of the book that they did without using the name Jason Bourne. I guess... Full review

The movie was good, but it did not follow the book at all. I enjoyed the book immensely. I couldn't understand why Damon got the part of such a movie, but he was good. He surprised me. I am writing this... Full review

Great acting from Matt Damon. Shows he can be a bona fide action star unlike a certain B. Affleck. Good interpretation of the novel (me being a Robert Ludlum fan). However, the camera work during the fight scenes is a touch... Full review

Taken separately, the Bourne movies are compelling, nuanced and well acted.....manages to reach an exciting climax.....the fight scenes are some of the best put to film.....Damon has a genuinely self deprecating manner, and on other commentaries, it seems like the cast and crew actually liked each other.... ...

The first film by Doug Liman is good but the ones that follow by Paul Greengrass are two of the best action movies of the last decade.
And U-Control is honestly just the beginning.

But Damon, as the supposedly more sympathetic Jason Bourne, shows just how well he could have played Highsmith's true psychopath.
Perhaps that's what made the first movie so good: It was familiar enough in some ways to catch us off guard.

It is a landscape of the soul-an apt setting for the primal revenge drama, both rough and sacred, that is among the first and most momentous of all stories.
Its best moment makes a joke of the poker-faced tone.

Matt Damon is superb as Jason Bourne, whose loss of memory becomes less disturbing than the revelations he discovers about himself.
Filled with gripping moments and enough heat to make a kettle boil, The Bourne Identity is the best thriller this year.
