I would say: Go watch it when you are a fan of movies like Ronin, don't watch it if you think James Bond is a person who you can bump into on the streets when going out. In the end this is still a man which you can identify yourself with. In the meanwhile he has to deal with amnesia, while being hunted without knowing why. Our hero even shows definite signs of physical vulnerability despite a very high level of training and competence. The action scenes are believable, no super-gadgets, no incredibly willing women sharing his bed. The fights are fast and very realistic but still entertaining. Jason Bourne however doesn't have all this things, which makes this movie a lot more realistic. Normally you see the "super hero" using all kinds of weird gadgets, driving extremely fast sports cars and sleeping with ladies who look more like prostitutes than being normal women. I'm not too keen on movies like James Bond and other stuff in this genre, but this one is a lot better. I only saw it 2 years after it first appeared and I'm a little disappointed that I didn't go watch it in the cinema. I heard a lot of good critics, but didn't know what to think about it. Next to Ronin, this is one of the best action / spy movies that I've ever seen.
