Bourne. Jason Bourne. Shaken and stirred.
In the year that James Bond became a Saturday Morning Cartoon, a new action spy emerged. Jason Bourne, played by then unlikely candidate Matt Damon, brought the perfect mix of old school action mixed with new school style. In the beginning of the ultra successful franchise, Bourne awakens without any memory of who he is, and slowly tries to piece the jigsaw puzzle of his life together. It has car chases that stand up to The French Connection and Bullitt, and hand-to-hand combat that compares to the best of martial arts flicks. Add to it an intriguing story of finding your identity, spies, Run Lola Run, snipers, government corruption, and Clive Owen, and you’ve got yourself quite a quality film on your hands.
