The best-selling suspense novel by late author Robert Ludlum comes to the screen for a second time, following a 1988 made-for-TV movie. Matt Damon stars as Jason Bourne, a barely alive amnesiac with a pair of bullet wounds in his back, pulled from the Mediterranean by Italian fishermen. Bourne's only clue to his own identity is a bank account number etched on a capsule implanted in his body. He quickly finds the Zurich bank where money, a gun, and a few identification documents await, but after he's pursued by security goons at the American consulate, Bourne realizes he can trust no one and offers a German gypsy named Marie (Franka Potente) ten thousand dollars for a ride to Paris. Encountering more professional killers bent on his destruction, Bourne discovers that he possesses a surprising degree of skill in combat, martial arts, and linguistics -- handy talents that clearly indicate his past includes work as a spy and assassin, but for whom? With Marie's reluctant help, Bourne edges closer to the truth, something CIA officials want concealed at all costs. The Bourne Identity co-stars Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Brian Cox, and Julia Stiles. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Will (Kirk Baltz) served in the American Army in Vietnam. More particularly, he became a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In fact, the thing it is most necessary to know about him is that, after being tortured to reveal everything he knew which might be of use to his captors, he was nursed back to health by one of the women Viet Cong, a mixed-race girl named Sophia (Hil Cato). The experience so scalded him that he cannot bring himself to have sex with any of the pretty Asian prostitutes he usually tattoos for a living. One of his non-Asian female customers (Nora Ariffin) decides to try cut through the sludge of his neuroses and see what makes him tick. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
