    The Bourne Identity

    Yet another movie I debate spending the cash to go see... except, this one looks like it could be pretty cheesy? What's the verdict?
    if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

    I expected it to be utter shit. It turned out to be a decent action film. Also, it showed the CIA in a bad light (not 100% accurate, but at least a bad light, not a good light).
    Worth watching if you're in the mood for action. Fight scenes are cool. Don't expect The Matrix, but its worth whatever an early showing costs these days ($5.50 or something).
    If you're in the mood for action, this is your best bet.

      good movie

      I have read all the books, years ago, and I was looking forward to the movie. (I heard.. heh . .. that there is a 2 disk set floating around the net that is fairly good quality).. :D but however you get a chance to view the movie.. it was worth it.

        I liked it I thought it had some pretty fucked story too it so it held my interest, esspecially the excess violence. i.e. using a bodie to break your fall... haha good stuff

          Lola Rennet

          I dug it.

          The car chase is overrated, but there was some groovy action and spy stuffage. Julia Stiles might as well have slept through her role (actually, I think she did).

          Oh, and here's a tip for any of you amnesiacs out there... if you can't remember who you are, but you can kick the $#*% out of anyone you meet and strange government agencies are trying to kill you... you are a spook. Problem solved. Don't be surprised when you find this out, 'cause no one else will be.

            MMMMMM :D

            Not a bad flick, probably could have waited for video if not for the above mentioned reason.

                she rules. "run lola run" is great! talk about a soundtrack with plenty of great tunage.
                her part in "blow" was way to short. her official site is pretty cool as well --

                oh, and yeah she's really hot!!!!;)

                  Plot's been done... lass kiss goodnight, etc.

                  Id say only go see it for the action, and dont expect much,a nd youll get your 5 bucks worth.

                    Bourne Identity is a remake from the late 80's I think. Based on some books from earlier. Last Kiss Goodnight ripped of these IMO, if you care about that kind of thing. But as for being done? It's all been done. [geocities popup alert] To a certain degree anyways.

                      Yes I know what your saying, I was just implying that we've all seen that plot so much, but its all relative i guess. Thanks for that link its pretty awesome. Ive actually read the book bourne identity. old old book. nothing like the movie really
