This cinematic adaptation of Robert Ludlum’s
novel tells the story of Jason Bourne, a man who gets picked out of the ocean
by fishermen with bullet wounds in his back. When Bourne wakes up, he has no
recollection of his identity. As he tries to put the pieces of his life together,
he has to fight off the people in charge of Operation Treadstone, a CIA black
op program, who clearly wants to be rid of their former agent for good.
The Bourne Identity is a very effective
action film. The pace is fast and the story is compelling. It does not reinvent
the wheel, but it provides very good entertainment while it lasts. Matt Damon
and Chris Cooper are solid in their respective roles, and the supporting cast
is not bad either.
This was a solid intro to what would become a
lucrative franchise in Hollywood. Very good action film.
