Saw “The Bourne Identity” last night with my wife. It was fantastic! The story moved along at a reasonable clip, Matt Damon was very good as an action-movie actor. I never read the book and I’m glad because the movie was just fine. Reading the book may have jaundiced me against it (as it did with some Tom Clancey novels.)

The only down side to the experience was that we got there late and wound up in the very front row.
