Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, <i>The Bourne Identity</i> starts fast and never slows down. The twisting plot revs up in Zurich, where amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), with no memory of his name, profession, or recent activities, recruits a penniless German traveler (<i>Run Lola Run's Franka Potente</i>) to assist in solving the puzzle of his missing identity. While his CIA superior (Chris Cooper) dispatches assassins to kill Bourne and thus cover up his failed mission, Bourne exercises his lethal training to leave a trail of bodies from Switzerland to Paris. Director Doug Liman (Go) infuses Ludlum's intricate plotting with a maverick's eye for character detail, matching breathtaking action with the humorous, thrill-seeking chemistry of Damon and Potente. Previously made as a 1988 TV movie starring Richard Chamberlain, <i>The Bourne Identity</i> benefits from the sharp talent of rising stars, offering intelligent, crowd-pleasing excitement from start to finish. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i>
