Action/Thriller-Jason Bourne was just fished out of the sea with bullet holes in his back by a fishing boat. After finding a bank code in his leg, he finds many passports under different names and a giant fortune. Little does he know that he's being hunted. Jason escapes with a woman, Marie Kreutz, who is taking him to Paris for $20,000. They, obviously, fall in love, but the US government is after him. Now Jason, and Marie, must run away while the government tries to stop him.

7/10-Straight-forward, a lot more so than the book. In the book, too many characters are in it and it's extremely confusing. In the movie, it's a simple few characters, and everything is revealed. The thrills are there, but character developement is low. You can still see some red hair dye in Franka's hair from Run Lola Run.

It's also pretty predictable. Bourne's in trouble, will he pull through? Of course, he must, there's two more books to make movies out of. Or am I pulling your leg? Though at a two-hour run time, it seems a lot shorter. Matt doesn't see like an action star, just like Ben Affleck didn't deserve to be in The Sum of All Fears. Overall, though, it's a fun thrill ride.
Rated PG-13 for some language and violence.

Rated R for violence and language.
