Chicago Reader - Hank Sartin
The full-throttle approach of director Doug Liman (Swingers, Go) is impressive.

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
There isn't a dull or dumb moment in this movie.

Time - Richard Schickel
The result is an escapist fantasy that is -- Damon's and Potente's persuasive performances aside -- as weightless and inconsequential as a musical. And at the moment every bit as welcome.

Baltimore Sun - Michael Sragow
The Bourne Identity keeps you in a state of nervous excitation from the opening shot to the fade-out and has a thread of deadpan humor that vibrates alongside the main action like a third rail quivering next to a hurtling train.

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard
Thrillers have become so gnawingly generic that The Bourne Identity wakes the senses without leaning on cliché and soundtrack.
