The Bourne Identity

Doug Liman · 2002 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

Fishermen pull a man out of the Mediterranean with two bullets in his back and a projector under his skin giving the number of a Zurich deposit box. The box holds passports in six names and a pistol, and by the time he has paid a stranger to drive him to Paris an agency is running teams at him. Liman's handheld, gadget-free approach reset the screen spy after four decades of Bond.
