It's too bad that a film can't simply propel itself along on the eye-candy factor alone. Matt Damon, as an amnesiac perhaps-super-spy, and cutie-pie Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) as the German girl who gets hauled along as he runs from the bad guys, make an interesting and attractive couple. But boy-oh-boy, I had read that The Bourne Identity had all sorts of problems in production, mainly the screenplay and the ever-changing finale, and it sure shows.

What's a little collateral damage if you are trying to save the world?

Oh, how I wanted this to be great. Oh, how disappointed I was that it was not.

Beyond fear, the most emotional involvement I felt was wanting to push the kid aside so I could have Baloo and Bagheera as my personal friends in my own movie.
