Editorial Review:
Universal The Bourne Identity - HD-DVD
Academy Award Winner Matt Damon stars in this explosive, action-packed hit filled with incredible fight sequences. Found with two bullets in his back, Jason Bourne discovers he has the skills of a very dangerous man and no memory of his violent past. Racing to unlock the secret of his own identity, he discovers the deadly truth: he's an elite government agent, a 30 million dollar weapon the government no longer trusts. Now this top operative is the government's number one target in this super-charged, thrill-a-minute spectacular loaded with "Non-stop action!" (Bill Zwecker, FOX-TV).
Description of The Bourne Identity [HD DVD]:
Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, The Bourne Identity 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 (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) 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, The Bourne Identity benefits from the sharp talent of rising stars, offering intelligent, crowd-pleasing excitement from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon
The Bourne Identity [HD DVD] Reviews:
WELL PACED, SOLID ACTION MOVIE! MY 900TH REVIEW AND COUNTING! 
2008-08-24 - I have not read the book, but reviewing this as a movie on it's own, it's quite good and much better than the usual action fare! Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne like a robotic killing machine. Fast paced, engrossing with an intelligent script, this film leaves you wanting more!......and more ye shall get with installments 2 and 3! The DVD has a great transfer and the extended edition is nothing more than a small scene added to the beginning and end of the film. Fortunately the theatrical release is intact.

Good movie ... great series. Get all three. Action packed. Will watch it again.
Switch to Netflix 
2008-08-18 - Did not know it took a special DVD machine to play this. No problem sending it back for credit. I signed up for Netflix and love it.
Pleased 
2008-08-16 - Very satisfied with how quickly this item was received. I should have ordered all three Bourne from this seller as it took twice as long for the second cd to arrive, and I'm still waiting for Bourne Supremacy ordered in July to arrive. I have emailed that seller three times and have yet to get a response. I will only deal with this seller in the future. Thank you....Suzy
I love that Euro stuff 
2008-07-18 - Great movie, lots of action. My favorite scene had to be when the two main characters are in Franka's car and she asked "What kind of music do you like?" There they were driving in that tiny car, running from the officials, and she's being kind. It made me think of being in a similar vehicle, '59 Renault, equipped with an in-dash short wave radio. That was Europe to me and this line brought it back.
