everything you have heard about this movie is true.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

3 step review.1.U liked other Bourne movies? U WILL like this Bourne debut. This is a no brainer. Best bourne EVER!2. The story: Rogue intelligence assasin is on the run. Will he live? Will he die? 90 min action chase.3. Doug Liman. Tony Gilroy. Remember those names? Doug Liman is in my opinion the ultimate best director of ALL the bourne movies. I love the other Bourne versions as well, but Doug Liman made the mold. He created the original. The core. And he did so with masters skills I havent seen the equivalent of yet. Doug Liman not only directed, he also produced this debut. That means he had almost total controll over HOW he wanted to shape it. And that can be noticed in the attention to detail. Everything from editing, to photography, to soundtrack is ONE. It is a perfectly mixed blend of just the right ingredients to make Bourne one of the biggest action heroes in modern cinema. It is a rush. An adrenaline kick. And Doug Liman is to be thanked for that.Tony Gilroy is the screenplay writer of this classic action packed thriller, although it is based on a novel by Robert Ludlum. And however underestimated writers can become in action movies I herald the power of Tony Gilroy's words in Bourne's debut. Most of all I like the friction between the characters. Everyone is under pressure, under intense pressure. Not only Matt Damon but everybody connected to this assasin on the run story is likely to get wasted in a storm of bullets. Supporting roles are excellent, at a level unheard of in most blockbusters. That is typical of all the Bourne movies in which acting is paramount! The story and the words that make these characters believable are what Tony Gilroy is to be thanked for. And when I can believe in the characters on the screen, then I know I can enjoy a movie time and again. You are about to see the very best in modern action movie history: the Bourne debut. I must have seen it dozens of times and I still cant get enough of it.

Matt Damon really is a badass. I could watch this movie again, and again, and again. This is my all time favorite. It's just perfect, and brilliant, and thrilling: the cast, the acting, the soundtrack, the fight scenes, the car chase scene, and Matt Damon completely blows my mind every time. If you haven't watched it yet trust me... Do it now!

I remember this movie being an average film. Nothing amazing but nothing terrible either. I thought when I watched it that Chris Copper had by far put up the best performance in the entire film. In fact despite him being a villain I felt bad when he got killed off at the end. Since I had seen quite possibly the only good part (actor wise) get killed off the series. Anyways, so I thought that the visuals were decent because none of it really felt like it was done on screen and the places looked like real areas that you can find and go to. Some of the action was really awesome and exciting while other bits sort of fell flat. Matt Damon I thought has an alright performance but I didn't really think much of the female. I thought she was pretty weak on the acting part. Overall the film isn't terrible but it's no masterpiece. I would say it's worth watching once just to see what it's all about.

Matt Damon's character is hunted because reasons. If "they" had just left him alone, he wouldn't have bothered anyone, and would've just lived his life the way he did at the end. And, I guess the reason the lemming who fights him in the apartment, jumps to his death, is so that that there can be some kind of mystery. I fight with assassins, but "I wonder who I am", because I have amnesia, conveniently.
