a5c7b9f00b A man is picked up by a fishing boat, bullet-riddled and suffering from amnesia, before racing to elude assassins and attempting to regain his memory. Based very loosely on Robert Ludlum&#39;s novel, the Bourne Identity is the story of a man whose wounded body is discovered by fishermen who nurse him back to health. He can remember nothing and begins to try to rebuild his memory based on clues such as a Swiss bank account, the number of which is implanted in his hip. He soon realizes that he is being hunted and takes off with Marie on a search to find out who he is - and why he is being hunted. I went to see this movie knowing that most of my friends and family had loved it when they saw it. I loved the fast pace action and the clips of the car chase that you see in the advertisements are just teasers. Matt Damon was wonderful as always. This was the first time I had seen Franka Potente in anything but I really enjoyed her performance. I loved that she was not a screaming, whining girl every time the action got going. I loved it and would recommend this movie to anyone looking for some good action and a pretty good story too!! Boring! The only reason why I gave the movie 4/10 was because of the nice shots from Europe. Just because one tries to make a story as confusing as possible doesn&#39;t make it interesting. Halfway through the movie I wanted to stop it and pop &quot;Frantic&quot; in. Broume has two leading characters one doesn&#39;t really care for, doesn&#39;t understand their motives and actually after a while even stops caring about what they are doing in the movie. The German actress was running back and forth through Berlin in Run Lola Run. Now she is running through Paris, but this time the movie around her doesn&#39;t work and her acting is way too stiff to elevate the film from its low. The Bourne Identity keeps you in a state of nervous excitation from the opening shot to the fade-out and has a thread of deadpan humor that vibrates alongside the main action like a third rail quivering next to a hurtling train. The bullet-riddled body of an unidentified man (<a href="/name/nm0000354/">Matt Damon</a>) is pulled from the Mediterranean Sea by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. With no memory of who he is or how he got there, he follows his only lead—a Swiss bank account number displayed by a miniature laser device extracted from his hip. He learns that his name is Jason Bourne and that, for some reason, he has a gun, a number of fake passports, and a large amount of cash. He soon finds out that he is being hunted by someone who wants to kill him. Aided only by his new friend, Marie Kreutz (<a href="/name/nm0004376/">Franka Potente</a>), Bourne scours Paris for clues about his identity and why he&#39;s being hunted. He may not like what he finds. The Bourne Identity (1980) was written by American author Robert Ludlum [1927-2001] and adapted for the screen by writers Tony Gilroy and William Blake Herron. It is the first of four movies based on Ludlum&#39;s Bourne novels, the second being <a href="/title/tt0372183/">The Bourne Supremacy (2004)</a> (2004), followed by <a href="/title/tt0440963/">The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)</a> (2007), <a href="/title/tt1194173/">The Bourne Legacy (2012)</a> (2012) and <a href="/title/tt4196776/">Jason Bourne (2016)</a> (2016). There was also a short-lived TV series <a href="/title/tt0094791/">The Bourne Identity (1988)</a> (1988). Bourne put them there himself for safe keeping so that he could get at them whenever he needs them, since he never knew where his next mission would take him. Marie wanted a student visa, which would require a visit to the local US Embassy or consulate.Franka Potente is German, and the character she plays—Marie Kreutz—is a German &quot;gypsy&quot; living in Zurich. When they are in Bourne&#39;s apartment, she is swearing in German. In the novel, she is French Canadian and her surname is St. Jacques. Following his aborted meeting with Bourne on the Pont Neuf, the CIA&#39;s head of Treadstone, Alexander Conklin (<a href="/name/nm0177933/">Chris Cooper</a>), heads over to the Treadstone safehouse where logistics technician Nicky Parsons (<a href="/name/nm0005466/">Julia Stiles</a>) has begun to shut down the surveillance equipment and close down the unit. Bourne follows Conklin and breaks into the safehouse. He questions Conklin about Treadstone and his identity and, from the answers, he slowly begins to remember how he created the cover of John Michael Kane and planned the assassination of exiled African dictator Nykwana Wombosi (<a href="/name/nm0015382/">Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje</a>) on his yacht but couldn&#39;t do it because Wombosi&#39;s children were sleeping nearby. In fleeing the yacht, he was shot twice in the back. Bourne tells Conklin that he is done with Treadstone and orders him to relay the news that he died two weeks ago. He leaves the safehouse, having to fight his way through several operatives awaiting him in the stairwell but manages to get away. When Conklin follows, he is assassinated by another operative, code name Manheim (<a href="/name/nm1197341/">Russell Levy</a>), dispatched by the CIA&#39;s Deputy Director Ward Abbott (<a href="/name/nm0004051/">Brian Cox</a>). Later, at a oversight committee meeting, Abbott informs the members that Treadstone has been shut down and proposes a new project to be called Blackbriar. In the final scene, Bourne tracks down Marie, who is now running a scooter rental shop in Mykonos, Greece. Abbott had Conklin killed because Conklin was steadily becoming incapable of controlling Treadstone, an unsanctioned program that needed to be kept under wraps. Abbott was already worried when Wombosi told the press that he believed the CIA had sent an assassin to kill him. When Bourne surfaced in Zurich and Paris and started causing damage, Abbott became desperate to stop Treadstone from being exposed. He did not have faith in Conklin&#39;s ability to deal with Bourne, so he sent an &quot;asset&quot; (assassin) to have Conklin killed. The assumption is that, when he saw Wombosi holding his children, something clicked. Although Bourne was trained to be a cold-hearted assassin, he suddenly regained his humanity. Another explanation is that he realized he would have to kill the children, too, so as to leave no witnesses, and he just couldn&#39;t do that. In the novel, it is further explained that Bourne became an operative after his own family, including his young children, was killed, that possibly being the trigger that prevented him from killing Wombosi and his children. Although based on the novel by Ludlum, the film excludes many backstories and subplots in the book. For instance, the novel&#39;s main antagonist—&quot;Carlos&quot;, an illusive international assassin wanted for many high-profile assassinations—hunts for Bourne after realizing &quot;Jason Bourne&quot; is but a mere decoy created by the CIA (via &quot;Treadstone 71&quot;) to draw him out in to the open. Plus, the book gradually reveals many facts about &quot;Jason Bourne&quot;, who is finally uncovered as David Webb—a once foreign relations officer and expert of Far-East nations, whose family is killed by a stray bomber strafing the area. Unable to cope with the loss, he joins the covert paramilitary operation known as &quot;Medusa&quot;. After &quot;Medusa&quot; is dissolved with the Vietnam War and its members unaccounted for, David Abbot (a CIA official involved with &quot;Medusa&quot; during Vietnam) recruits David Webb for his ultra-secretive, covert-ops unit &quot;Treadstone 71&quot;. It is with Treadstone and under the aegis of Abbot that David Webb becomes &quot;Jason Bourne&quot;—the &quot;new&quot; assassin on the block challenging &quot;Carlos&quot;. Unlike the movie, &quot;Jason Bourne&quot; was never an assassin—he was decoy, a counter-myth created by Treadstone to lure the elusive Carlos out into the open. Of course, see The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatim—the initial sequels to The Bourne Identity. There are also the later sequels—The Bourne Legacy and Jason Bourne—Bourne being missing from the former.
