Mar 05, 2017TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
The Bourne Identity introduces a new and familiar character to the hearts of most action movie lovers. Jason Bourne is that character you are sure you know loads about and yet nothing. Matt Damon somehow manages to make the cliche of a virtuous killer not as tiring and beleaguered as most current action drama heroes are. Bourne seems ruthless and yet very warm. The movie develops from into an attempt to unravel the philosophic quest for identity that every human being faces, with its engaging plot and round main characters. The action in and out of itself is not a disappointment. Damon presents a convincingly lethal performance that complements the titular character adequately. The movie fortunately fails to evolve into the modern cliche of good versus evil and instead maintains its grasp of complex characters with complex morals and ethics. With four out of five stars, the movie is a good enough start for the highly successful franchise. - @TheEccentric of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
