Dan 03/28/2021 Great movie, I never saw it in theaters until tonight. See more Harrison C. @QwopEX May 28 Very interesting plot, but the awkward camera zoom makes it confusing at times. See more Kauã M @KauaMiguel Apr 25 The plot strikes a balance between feeling like I've seen this a thousand times before and seeing something new, especially since I'm not used to seeing Matt Damon as an action movie protagonist, but the direction and character development work very well, and most importantly, it's a fun and lighthearted film to watch. See more Matthew J L @matthewjloller Apr 23 A movie that frinetically casts the viewer into an intriguing action-mystery, and it mostly sticks the landing... even if that mystery is fairly obvious and the noted frinetic action, though enjoyable (largely because the wild, constant editing and rollercoaster shaky cam match the mental state of the character), makes each action set-piece a challenge for the viewer to follow and influenced too many poor imitators in the years that followed. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 13 The Bourne Identity is a good action-thriller that stands out for its grounded approach and engaging mystery. Instead of relying on over-the-top spectacle, the film focuses on tension, realism, and a compelling story about identity and survival. Matt Damon delivers a strong performance as Jason Bourne, bringing both intensity and vulnerability to the role. His journey to uncover his past keeps the story intriguing from start to finish. The action scenes are sharp and realistic, with well-choreographed fight sequences and thrilling chases that feel believable. The pacing is steady, allowing the mystery to unfold without dragging. While it may not be as flashy as other action films, its smart storytelling and character-driven approach make it memorable. Overall, it’s a solid and well-executed thriller that helped redefine modern action films. I’d rate it an 8/10. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Apr 10 An incredibly engaging and original action movie that changed the entire landscape of modern action films. The movie has an awesome premise of a man with no memories, but a TON of skills as he soon discovers that he's an awesome secret agent that's on the run as we are thrown into this exciting mystery of uncovering his past with a ton of great action scenes. Matt Damon is great as Jason Bourne. The movie hooks you into immediately. From the start, you're asking a million questions as you're trying to piece the puzzle together. The pacing is excellent. Everyone is watching Bourne, and they never catch him a break as he is constantly on the run. The action is grounded, but fast paced and frenetic, yet still easy enough to follow. The heart of the movie is Jason Bourne's cute and oddly wholesome friendship turned romance with Marie. The movie is an awesome spy action thriller that kickstarted modern action flicks and still holds up really well. See more Read all reviews
