The Bourne Identity
* * * 1/2

Jason Bourne: Matt Damon
Marie Kreutz: Franka Potente
Ted Conklin: Chris Cooper
Ward Abbott: Brian Cox
The Professor: Clive Owen
Rated PG-13 for violence and some language.

The Bourne Identity is what I like to call the "thinking man's action movie". It has a lot of cool fight scenes, but there is a good story to hold up the action.
Matt Damon is Jason Bourne, who has just lost his memory. The movie is about Bourne trying to find out who he is and why he has all the skills he has. I really liked Damon in this roll, he gave a human quality to the role of Bourne.
Bourne meets up with Marie, a French girl, and together they try to discover Bourne's identity.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good action movie, as well as a cool story.

Note: I usually don't like violent movies, but the violence in The Bourne Identity didn't bother me much. 1
