I am a fan of hers, initially from Charlie's Angels of course, and this was the 8th Movie featuring her I have collected. Jaclyn Smith, I suppose, was the reason I watched this Movie.

He tackled the role very well and was, in the most part, very sucessful. It would have been perfect I imagine when first screened, over two evenings and the end of the first part is an excellent cliff hanger! I loved the way clues, plot pieces unraveled as the Movie went along. Where to start?! A good compliament of 'The Bourne Identity' is simply that the 3 hours went by very quickly, never dragged on. And sure, some people might still enjoy sitting through something like that.I have just finished watching this Movie and felt very complelled to come and write a review on here. It all comes off like an action-packed but ultimately empty episode of 24, without any of the tensions or motivations. (If it matters to you, Damon did a 90-second video recap that shows someone's aware that we've probably not retained any of this.)

It's really not clear, but it really doesn't matter. What he can't quite remember is why his father died in a car bombing before he was recruited into the program, or something. Speaking of, Jason Bourne grasps to connect back to its predecessors in flashback, but forgets that a) it's been almost a decade since Bourne's story left off and b) no one cared enough to track on it back then, either.Īnd yet 'I remember everything' is Bourne's key line - at least he remembers who he is and what he's capable of, which takes almost all the desperation out of the equation. Now that granite facade looks a little shopworn and feels ultimately silly, bringing us back to a tone and time no one was nostalgic for. Identity came like a blast of fresh, bracing air - it was harsh and immediate, sparking off an era of 'realistic' action. When Doug Liman introduced the franchise with The Bourne Identity in 2002, 9/11 was still the undercurrent of everything, and James Bond was still stuck on Pierce Brosnan with Die Another Day.
