I know you guys over here have probablies reviewed it already but i have my own personal oppinion of it here, i know its gonna sound weird but its one off my site so keep with it
The Bourne Identity
Director: Doug Liman
Actors: Matt Daemon, Franka Potente and Chris Cooper
Running time: 111 minutes
Official Site: The Bourne Identity
Universal.
This is one hell of a spy film, when I saw it though straight away all I thought of was ‘Enemy Of The State’ which starred Will Smith, where this is obviously a more modern version of that hit film. This action packet film stars Matt Daemon as a Spy/Assassin and includes quite a few hi tech gadgets in this film. The director Doug Liman has somewhat appeared from no-where Creating a film of the name of ‘Go’ Seen the cover, never watched it. But I believe that this wont really go in peoples head for a film to remember, don’t think it really will for me, back in the attic of my mind with all of the gremlins movies and Bill and Ted’s excellent adventures (don’t ask where they came from). But yet it is still a great action film in which everyone should at least think about seeing it.
Well the film is about the assassin (Matt Daemon) is found at the beginning floating in water with two bullets in his back, by a fishing crew. He is pulled in and as if a miracle he is alive, not knowing who he was, and what was he called he went off on his business. The first lead he followed was that there was a tiny device found in his Thy. When pressing the button on the top of this device he finds the account and bank number of where for him to go to get his equipment, that he does not know. After he finds this piece of equipment he goes off and finds out who he is eventually. While the police are after him, he also finds out he has martial art skills and knows a lot of languages including, French and German. With the excitement that an organization is after him (the very one he came from as a matter of fact) as they try to cover up his lost assignment that he failed. But when I watched the film at the end, I was like “did this film actually go anywhere” it had no target, so it wasn’t going anywhere but still the journey was still fun.
The director seemed to have salvaged what he could in this film from all the others, I’m not that surprised it hasn’t been that big of a hit. As for actors I was eagerly awaiting for Matt Daemon to get a main part in this film, and at last he got a main part, I wouldn’t call myself a big fan but he is pretty cool. I’m glad that the director at least salvaged a good actor out of this film. Overall I had to keep my friend awake while we were watching the film, but this is an ok film, but the director has done one bad thing, mixed boredom with action, very bad!
Special Effects: None really
Storyline: Good but not quite good enough for me.
Characters: Matt Daemon- Good if not great
The Rest- Forget about
Production: Just became another ‘run of the mill’ films
Overall: 3 stars
