    Bourne Identity

    Caught Bourne Identity yesterday at the local megaplex (Polo Park) and really enjoyed it. Its pretty much exactly what I thought it would be from the trailer so no big surprises there. The plots pretty solid and Matt Damon's acting was good enough not to be a factor though Franka Potente was a little rough around the edges at times. There were some pretty good fight scenes and the car chase with the mini was great...its not everyday you see a mini in a car chase If you like Bond movies this should be right you yor alley....I give it :4: out of :5:

    I have a hard time accepting Matt Damon as an action hero, but I still plan on watching the dvd when it arrives.

      Actually, Matt Damon's action sequences are pretty good in this film, and he'd make a fine "John Clark" from the Tom Clancy novels.

        He just doesn't have the rugged look. But then, neither does Brosnan, and after Connery I like his Bond best. I'll have to wait and see.

          I can see your point george but given that he wasn't really acting as someone that knows he's an action hero I think he fit the role quite well....that likely doesn't make much sense but it will once you see the movie

            Understood, Andrew. I'll hold my opinion in reserve until I see the film.

              The Bourne Identity - a review
              by Patrick Sun
              I thought "The Bourne Identity" was okay, not as good as I'd hoped, but not horrible, just didn't have enough bite to it. Matt Damon is okay as Jason Bourne. I found Franka Potente endearing in her role. Bourne is definitely a badass, even if it's just reflex kicking in when he needs the moves....

              coming July 23 I think. A followup to the Bourne Identity. Should be pretty good maybe.

              Bourne Idendity worth your time
              by George Bellefontaine
              Matt Damon as an action hero ? I never thought so until I watched him in Bourne Idenity. It's about a spy out in the cold who has lost his memory but not his instincts for survival as those who employed him now want him dead.
              Excellent suspense and action throughout, especially a nerve shattering...

              Rebuys on HD-DVDs?
              by impala454
              I was thinking about this the other day, and hear me out before you think I'm crazy.

              Ok so I have about 25 HD-DVDs, 30 Blu-rays, and 100+ SD-DVDs. I have a Toshiba XA2 & Panny BD30 to play them. Now at first I thought, there's no way in hell I'd rebuy all my HD-DVDs as blu-rays....
