Ludlum meets Damon......and they make a great pair. Very good film.
By roncoach (365 reviews) from suffolk , 20 Jan 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
A very good film -----an espionage thriller which, because of their current numbers, needs to be good in order to compete.
And this IS good.
Robert Ludlum was IMHO the best contemporary thriller writer of his generation, and Jason Bourne was the only character he ever 'used' in more than one of his many many novels. So Jason is already a bit special before we get down to the film.
He's such a good character to play that some might say that any decent actor could have played the part and not detracted from the film at all. I'd disagree with that. I think Matt Damon was a great choice and enhanced the film. The follow-up, and more after that I hope, was also a triumph for him.
It's espionage, thriller, action, subterfuge, wide-ranging locations and lots of enjoyment amidst the tension.
Very easy to recommend this movie starring one of the best talents around on screen in recent years.- Was this review helpful to you?

Got into the Bourne films late
By paxtonpat (7 reviews) , 26 Jan 2013I've been a bit late getting into the Bourne films, as the trailers/ads did a good job of putting me off. They make it appear like a 2 hour action fest, whereas its actually a proper adult thriller, with an interesting storyline (everyone loves the old amnesia storyline), good acting, good action sequences and a globe-trotting set of locations. Top quality all round.- Was this review helpful to you?

Matt Damon IS JASON BOURNE
By Fangg (28 reviews) from Newtonmore , 05 Sep 2012Watching this as part one of a trilogy is an interesting experience, as when i saw it originally i had no idea it would become a franchise. Neither, i venture, did the filmmakers. Its an excellent movie with some fantastic twists and turns, a nice and simple plot (i don't understand why some people found it confusing) and some superb acting, and action scenes to rival a Bond film. Its partially comparable to the James Bond films, yes; but not really. A cynic may use them in debate, but no, this is a Bourne film and a new genre is born. The editting is terse and exciting, the music often modern and sometimes haunting. The mini-chase, now famous, is brilliant.
Matt Damon is Jason Bourne. Yes he is. His understated approach to the character wonderfully skirts bond-esque comedy and manages to stay well on-top of scary assassin with no memory.
Excellence supporting from A-listers Chris Cooper, Brian Cox and even Clive Owen start the ball rolling for what is, come the end of the film, a fantastic opening to a thrilling franchise.
In fact, i think this one stands out for the simple reason its almost a standalone watch, where as the latter films require knowledge of the Arc to follow.- Was this review helpful to you?
