The Bourne Identity

An unconscious man is washed ashore on the beach of a small French village during a heavy storm. A retired doctor takes care of the unconscious stranger. When the mysterious man recovers, he can't remember a thing...he does not know his name, he does not know where his flashback memories come from, and he does not know why the access code for an anonymous Swiss bank account is implanted in his thigh. As he seeks his own identity, things quickly become dangerous. There are attempts to kill him, he is well known in first class hotels across Europe, and worst of all, there are strange similarities between his memories and reported actions of the notorious terrorist, Carlos the Jackal.

Robert Ludlum’s bestselling novel The Bourne Identity is adapted as a mildly suspenseful and atmospheric TV movie. The story follows an injured man who washes ashore with no memory of who he is, but he slowly starts to suspect that he’s a hired assassin after following several clues and being pursued by a hit squad. Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith lead the cast and give cheesy, melodramatic performances. And Roger Young’s meandering, slow-paced directing doesn’t do the film any favors. The writing too is rather poor, particularly at making Bourne’s missing past a compelling mystery (which is a major failing). Incredibly long and arduous, The Bourne Identity is a bland spy thriller that feels rote and cliché.

The performance by the leads are a little too over the top. Jaclyn Smith is like Kim Basinger was cast with a panicky crying performance. The story is engaging though and supposedly more like the books.
