The movie is awful. Boring. Plotless and the only thing that relates to the entire book is the title The Bourne Identity. The books that the movie is based on are three of the most cherished books in my library. 1st they do a really poor job of introducing the characters. It was not till the third installation that I finally learned the name of several of the characters.Let me just list off who is not in the movie (these are MAJOR characters in the book too!):Alexander Conklin - Jason Bourne's creator & friend.Moe Panov - Jason Bourne's doctor & friend.Carlos - Jason Bourne's nemesis, his equal.These three characters are NOT just paramount in the story line - they ARE the story line.I am certain that the screenwriters, directors and everyone else on board with this movie never read the books and only wanted to make a quick buck.A sad excuse for a good book. An absolute chaotic nightmare!

this was one of those movies where i knew the ending well in advance. from the previews, you can get the idea of the plot. matt damon plays a man trying to discover who he is. there are people out to kill him for something he did that we have yet to know.i knew this and yet the movie, i found, was slow because it took almost an hour to get any info about him. i knew he was some spy or something and probably did some dirty deed or maybe refused to do something for someone.yet the movie saw fit to dwell on this for far too long. i was bored, waiting for the movie to pickup, to explode in action and bring me to edge of my seat. of course this never happened. this was a below average movie in which i found no joy

If anyone actually believed that Matt Damon would make a good action hero needs to have their head examined. If you look closely at the fight scenes, you can tell how awkward Damon looks at these shots. What was going through casting director Joseph Middleton's mind when they chose Matt Damon. I bought this DVD and deeply regret having done so! Don't make the same mistake.

Boure Identity - rate it a 5. Great movie.Watching it on Amazon is the worst experience I have ever had. Having friends over to wnjoy a movie only to have it stop andstart over and over again is awful. The starting and stopping is unexpected and lasts sometime for hours.

OK, here's the problem: I've read the book three times already,(and I know I'll read it again), so I can fairly say it's one of my favourites. I saw this film and I found almost nothing even similar to the book.If you did not read the book, the film is OK, entertaining and with LOTS of action, but if you are an old Jason Bourne fun like me, go grab your old paperback, relax and stick to the real J.B.
