The Bourne Identity is a good flick to rent-but not own, unless you enjoy a good movie that is a mix of Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Segull, and The Rock in 'Walking Tall'.
This is a story of an assassin that has a major problem-he has amnesia and can't remember anything! Not a good deal for an assassin, huh?
We pick up the love interest and tons of fight scenes, a car chase (like in 'The Italian Job' movie with Mark Wahlburg) and the plot really much simple.
The alternative ending blows and the behind the scenes are not worth shelling out any extra for the DVD just to review.
The movie itself is fast paced and will have you glued to your seat for the entire time only surprising you on some points.
1. How we are introduced to the Italian assassin to come for Matt's character. Will knock you off balance.
2. We learn an assisgn called 'The Professor' played brilliantly by one of our own; Clive Owen is one that must wear glasses to knock someone off. Should assassins need to wear glasses to see their target?
3. We also learn no matter how many times (twice, I believe) that a bad guy (Clive) gets shot-his glasses never falls from his face.
There are some points that just leave gaps that hopefully the sequel 'The Bourne Supremacy' will fill in on.
Let's just hope the sequel isn't 'You killed my wife and kids and now I've come to kill you' type of story line. Now that isn't wouldn't be original.
PS-If you buy the $19.99 DVD (with sticker on cover) you get a free movie ticket (up to $10.50) to see The Bourne Supremacy.
RENT
Life is just a Movie where You control the Story & Others control the Review
