The Bourne Identity (Explosive Extended Edition) Reviews
One of my favorite movies
The Bourne Identity is high on my list of all time favorite movies. Matt Damon plays a former government agent who thanks to a series of unfortunate events finds himself with amnesia, unconscious and floating in the sea, which is where the movie starts. The rest of the movie follows his journey trying to figure out who he is and how he came to be floating in the sea with bullet wounds in his back. Of course his quest is made a little more difficult when the government decides they would rather he just disappear.
This movie will hold your attention from the very beginning, the plot is interesting and the movie very well made. The main character Jason Bourne (Damon) is likeable and intriguing. The action is exciting and there really is no part of the movie where you start checking your watch to see if it is nearly over. In fact this is one of those movies that holds your interest from start to finish.
Now for the negatives: I've heard that the movie does not follow the book too closely. Well boo hoo, if you'd rather read the book then do so. The government agency portrayed in this movie is a little ridiculous. Basically they make a phone call and immediately get the cooperation of police and agencies all over the world. They tap a few computer keys and immediately have access to surveillance camera images and other detailed information from all over the world. Sure America is a superpower, but the level of cooperation between America and the rest of the world is simply not this good.
Finally on the negative side, there is one stunt where Borne falls several stories down a stairwell shaft while accurately shooting people and uses a body to cushion the fall. This takes the suspension of disbelief a little too far. I don't see anyone surviving such a fall in real life. I don't really see how this sequence was necessary to the plot.
But for all the petty negatives this is one of those movies that I loved the first time, and continue to watch to this day. I'm sure I've seen it more than a dozen times, and there are not many movies I like to watch that often.
If you like cool action movies with an intelligent plot, this one will not disappoint.
