It is probably hard to appreciate this original Bourne saga after you have been taken on the wild, action packed adventure with Matt Damon. There is simply no comparison. In all fairness, this is 1988, and the concept of the story is intriguing. The movie is a bit drawn out, slows at times, and appears a bit hammy but worth watching to see the differences between the original and the remake. Was this review helpful? Yes

This film doesn't really grab you, and while Chamberlain and Smith are OK, they may have been somewhat miscast in their roles. I would like to visit the parts of Europe where gunplay continues uninterrupted by any police presence, and I would also like to lay my hands on one of those revolvers that is chambered for eight or nine rounds.

Well, I have to say it was terrible. Long, drawn out, like watching a bad soap opera. I guess thats why it was "made for TV". Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne is terrible. He isn't believable, and he isn't in anyway heroic, I found myself wishing the "bad guys" would just catch him. Was this review helpful? Yes

i was wondering why this movie was so bad until i read the other reviews about it being made for tv. i used to like Mr. RC as Dr kildare, but he had aged horribly and was truly not the correct cast member for the part. he would have made a much better bad guy. his acting was so stilted as was the incomprehensible number of bloodletting/shootouts. where is a cop when you need one as there was no regard for how many innocent civilians were being shot. go back to medicine or australia, Mr RC Was this review helpful?

It may seem redundant but I have to agree with the other reviews, this movie wasn't very interesting from the point of view of the editing, the background music, the lighting and the acting. The settings lacked variety. The action scenes lacked excitment. In short, if you watched it once you won't want to watch it again. Was this review helpful? Yes

Greetings,
This movie was very difficult to watch. Yes it follows the plot of the book, but it does so without taking up the spirit and soul of the book. The book is exciting, intriguing, and a real page turner. The movie will make you wish you had never started. I watched it through, because like a bad train wreck it's hard to look away.
Mr. Chamberlain unbelieveable as Jason Bourne. Mr. Damon was also unbeliveable as Jason Bourne.
One of those two is a compliment, stick with Matt Damon for a great movie. Read the book for a great story. They are both enjoyable, while this movie was terrible.
