Robert Ludlum writes exciting, fast moving spy thrillers with well drawn characters, and he does it so well you do not want to put the book down.

Matt Damon is a very good lead actor for this role - he has a non expressive face best suited to this part. He looks and acts stoically.
The filming has been done in such a way that you feel very much that you are experiencing everything first hand - as though you are Jason Bourne. The crowd/bystander scenes are the best I have ever seen in that they look completely natural as though the events that happen in the open really are a shock to the people there.
When I read the Bourne Identity I was certain that a sequel would follow because the ending was incomplete - the film does mirror this feeling.
The sequel, the Bourne Supremacy , picks up a quiet Jason Bourne living at peace who suddenly comes under attack for no apparent reason. His girlfriend is killed and the mayhem starts again.......
Again fast paced and well written and filmed the sequel is every bit as good as the original film - in fact the friends we watched it with found it even better. There are twists, explosions, car chases and a corker of a finish - a great film.
Having the two films together is a real bonus - I will definitely be watching both again more than once!
The alternate endings are interesting - probably more so to film buffs rather than good author buffs like me.
Do yourself a favour and get these films - you certainly will not regret it.
Advantages: Great Cast, Fast action, Good Locations Disadvantages: Story Line isn't amazing, Action Scenes not very long
...films concerning memory loss and the character trying to find out who he is etc... I have both movies on DVD and I can watch them over again and again. The Bourne Identity Starts out with Bourne floating in the sea.. He is saved and wakes up with no memory of who he is or why he was out in the sea. The movie then moves on with small bits of memory and a bank account number found in his leg. This leads him all across Europe. Who is he, what does he ... ...his Identity, he then finds the US government after him for what he does not know why..
The story is a fast one, the car chase in the mini is brilliant... Matt Damon looks like he maybe moving into Action / Adventure with this movie and he pulls it off well.
The only downside to this movie is that with every movie you see where there is a person with loss of memory ( Long Kiss Goodnight!!) they end up being secret Agents or assasins etc.. This ...

Advantages: Easy and entertaning to watch Disadvantages: Plot line has been done before
I saw the bourne identity in the cinema a long time ago and was pelasanly suprised by Matt Damon as an action hero. He has a determined blank face which helps in this role. i wont go to much into the story line as this is available under product description. Bourne "matt damon" meets Franka Potenta (who is beautiful) and convinces her to give him a lift. This is where the action starts. The best thing about the action is that it looks real like something ... ...you feel part of the action. Each blow looks like it hurt and the fact that matt did his own stunts makes you feel his pain, although his rather emotionless face make you wonder if he is all there. The realistic theme continues through out the film and the car chases, the cars get battered and innocent by standers also get hurt in a realistic not hollywood way. The supporting cast does very well inj supporting matt and make the best of the script ...

Advantages: Very good, inticing, action. Disadvantages: The plot can confuse you.
The Bourne Identity and Supremacy are great films. I have watched them both and have them on DVD. The action and cleverness of the plot is great and keeps you interrested but it can get very confusing, and sometimes you have to read between the lines or put things together yourself which is sometimes hard.
The characters are great and well acted, and the storyline is very inventive. Well worth watching, over and over.

Advantages: Everything-action, character, storyline, special effects Disadvantages: None
and the brilliantly thought up storylines and character of Jason Bourne will definitely keep you hooked.
Jason Bourne is played by Matt Damon who has proven to be among the top actors with the splendid performances in all three films. There are many special features listed below which I have watched all of and give a great insight into the film, the making-of and Jason Bourne. It also shows that Matt Damon did all his own stunts, some of the places where they filmed-with problems encountered, how car chases,etc were filmed and how much goes into specific scenes with great technology and expertise being used.

The Bourne collection are probably the best trilogy ever to be made.All 3 films are the kind of movies you can watch over and over agin and still not get bored of them.Before i saw any of these i wasn't really a big fan of Mat Damon as i hadn't seen him in that many films but after seeing these i think he is one of the best actors around at the moment.If you like your films with action,car chases,storylines and good acting these films are a must for you.Basically in the movie at the beginning Jason Bourne (Mat Damon) Is pulled out of the sea by some people on a boat and when he wakes up he suffers from amnesia so has to set out to find out who he is and how he got there.It turns out he is some sort of agent but the agency he worked for has now got agents out to kill him as he didn't do what he was supposed to do.I don't really want to ...

But following a failed assassination attempt he's back taking the fight to the 'unknown' enemy. Now no-one is safe as Jason follows the trail to those that want him dead.

DVD Description
As THE BOURNE IDENTITY begins, a man who may or may not be Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea and is hauled onto a fishing boat. When the ship's doctor examines the unconscious castaway, he discovers two bullet wounds and an implanted device that displays a Swiss bank account number. With nothing but this code, the amnesiac Bourne travels to Zurich and gains access to a safe-deposit box containing a gun, thousands of dollars in various currencies, and valid passports from numerous countries--each listing a different identity. Within minutes, Bourne is on the run from a seemingly ever-present agency, relying on language and fighting skills he didn't even know he possessed. Offering $20,000 for a ride to Paris, Bourne gains the reluctant help of the nomadic Marie (Franka Potente). Meanwhile, the shadowy organization, headed by a tough-talking bureaucrat (Chris Cooper), sends numerous assassins (including the Professor, played by Clive Owen) after Bourne and Marie. As their situation grows more perilous, the two strangers struggle to find out who Bourne really is and why they are being hunted. Doug Liman's adaptation of Robert Ludlum's best-selling novel is a remarkable exercise in straightforward storytelling, with the director wisely choosing to focus on Bourne and his quest for identity. The fight sequences are thrilling, but never overly glamorized, and the film's pacing is engaging and deliberate. Damon, who displays genuine bewilderment as his character discovers his almost-superhuman abilities, anchors the proceedings with the subtle charm of an unlikely action hero. Potente also shines as Bourne's road companion, a savvy woman who slowly builds an utterly believable relationship with the confused man. Bearing distinct affinity for its European setting and classic Hollywood suspense films, THE BOURNE IDENTITY succeeds as an unusually smart character-driven thriller. In THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, Matt Damon returns as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in this fast-paced follow-up to 2002's THE BOURNE IDENTITY. Forced out of hiding as the result of an attempt on his life, Bourne fulfills his earlier promise to wreak vengeance on his former CIA employers, some of whom may be in league with murderous Russians. Brian Cox and Joan Allen are both great as warring agency chiefs convinced Bourne orchestrated the murder of two of their own in a deal gone bad. Thanks to tense, gritty direction by Paul Greengrass (BLOODY SUNDAY), the plot stays tight, the characters believable, and suspense and thrills flow steady. Moody photography enhances the urban European locations, which--combined with handheld camerawork and fast editing--keeps the action realistic and CGI-free. Vividly capturing the fatalist flavor of Robert Ludlum's original novel, this is globalism noir at its finest. Franka Potente and Julia Stiles are back from the original, and the always dependable Marton Csokas shows up as one of Bourne's deadly fellow operatives. A rousing car chase through Moscow may outdo the ones in RONIN and THE FRENCH CONNECTION for visceral speed and length. As the icing on the cake, John Powell provides a menacing, ambient percussive score.
