There are a lot of action movies out there. Most come and go and are largely forgotten. But The Bourne Identity is one that has endured, fondly remember as paving a path for the genre's evolution in the 21st century. I want to examine why I think the film works so well. Why The Bourne Identity isn't just an action film, but in fact a really well-crafted character journey, deep at its core. And I'm going to demonstrate that by taking you through the movie with all the CIA scenes removed, focusing only on Jason Bourne and Marie's story.
