| �THE BOURNE IDENTITY�! Jesus! Action, romance and ear-attacking surround sound! James Bond�d be hard to out-do Matt Damon�s hell-forever-a-secret-agent-but-not-in-leather, as he�s discovered comatose and floating aimlessly in the Med Sea by a trawler. Pitying his amnesia, he has a hunch he�ll start to remember who he once was if he persuades a beautiful woman to chauffeur him to Paris a.s.a.p., like now! So off they burn to Paris, and she takes a shine to him and makes up a few choice excuses when her cue comes to leave, so they predictably become in embroiled in one of the coolest action movies for fun, all shot in bright and breezy, cosmopolitan European locations, the highlight outstanding as the �Italian Job�-sacking mini chase which cuts-up coppers by the carload. Matt Damon has the looks and the lines. He previously played �The Talented Mr Ripley,� but it�s Mr Damon we should be bowing down to ever since his stupendous role as �Good Will Hunting.� Hmm� noticing a pattern in the titles of his movies. Will he ever disappoint? (STEVE RUDD) | ||
