Movie The Bourne Identity
Nutshell Hipster spy thing in which a man is washed up on a French beach with his memory missing but his very scary black ops skills and training intact.
Good Things Matt Damon, a locals eyeview of Paris, finally a good car chase
Bad Things Offed landladies, kids and animals in danger
Features Corfu, earthy fishermen, a lot of wiping down everything to get rid of fingerprints, Brian Cox, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Gabriel Mann, Walt Goggins, and Julia Stiles as, apparently, the French Police
Uncomfortable Moments Chris Cooper eating every bit of scenery. I think they were trying to make his long office dialogue scenes more dynamic but I was worried he was going to have a heartattack.
Notable The sound effects are so LOUD. I know it's supposed to make Bourne seem super badass when the body blows are really loud but GEEZ it sounded like the world was ending every time he hit someone.
Best Part Franka Potente. She's such a star.
Best Line "Nobody does the right thing."
Crowns 4 out of 5
