But he&#8217;s dangerous too &#8212; although he doesn&#8217;t know it, he&#8217;s one of them.<\/p>\n<p>It may be hard to remember now, but Matt Damon was not an action star when this movie was made. People were questioning his suitability for this role &#8212; but they didn&#8217;t question it once they saw the movie.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of the best action movies ever &#8212; not only superb action, but an interesting story. Hand-to-hand combat and car chase scenes are very realistic. Bourne is creative in defending himself and getting himself out of situations.<\/p>\n<p>This movie is intriguing right from the beginning. Bourne is disturbed by what he finds out about himself. I like how he hasn&#8217;t slept in days but he trusts Marie enough to sleep in her car.<\/p>\n<p>Loosely based on the novel by Robert Ludlum. Stars Franka Potente and Chris Cooper. Directed by Doug Liman (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/2014\/06\/mr-mrs-smith\/\"><strong>Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith<\/strong><\/a>).
