Top Critic
You may be surprised by the fact that this formula spy thriller has been delivered with a matter-of-fact efficiency that proves highly entertaining.
08/03/07
A sleek espionage thriller that reduces the world to the size of a postage stamp. Matt Damon is terrific.
07/26/07
The movie is about muscular speed and skill, and that's all it's about. Like its hero, it's blank by design.
07/23/07
Efficient set pieces come neatly spaced every ten to 15 minutes -- just often enough to keep you credulous -- and the trans-European settings lend a classy backdrop.
02/09/06
...Liman is also clever enough to make the real action start when the motor stops.
03/03/05
The Bourne Identity is an intense, violent, bite-your-nails-to-the-quick thriller.
12/06/04
One of the many problems, other than Damon’s lack of emotion, is the fact that there’s no suspense.
10/07/04
Liman can uncork leap-out-of-your-seat shocks, draw out suspense scenes with malicious finesse and even ease a touch of romance and droll humor into the yarn.
05/19/04
Top Critic The result is an intriguingly paced thriller that knows how to milk some excitement out of smaller scenes.
02/01/04
All the style cannot make up for the flagging energy level of the narrative.
01/12/04
... With its script problems, it's probably better than it should be ...
01/07/04
As cenas de ação são ótimas e há boa química entre Damon e Potente. O roteiro também é instigante, embora não totalmente satisfatório.
07/25/03
The Bourne Identity is about as effective a thriller as you could want, especially if you don't want to think too hard.
