The Bourne Identity
He Was The Perfect Weapon Until He Became The Perfect Target.
The story of a man (Matt Damon), salvaged, near death, from the ocean by an Italian fishing boat. When he recuperates, the man suffers from total amnesia, without identity or background… except for a range of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistic skills and self-defense that speak of a dangerous past. He sets out on a desperate search-assisted by the initially rebellious Marie (Franka Potente) – to discover who he really is, and why he's being lethally pursued by assassins.
Critic Reviews:
- " The body language and personality that Damon invests in Bourne creates an impression of intelligence and depth, however specious these qualities may ultimately be. " – Namrata Joshi
- " A first-rate thriller with grit and intrigue to spare. " – Todd McCarthy
- " For once, a sequel would be welcome. " – Emma Cochrane
