Maybe he's Bourne with it, maybe it's his years of CIA training.

The Bourne Identity is a 2002 action thriller directed by Doug Liman, starring Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Chris Cooper, and Brian Cox.

Damon plays a bullet-riddled amnesiac found floating in the Mediterranean Sea. We follow Damon's character as he pieces together the clues to determine who exactly he is. And, as it turns out, he wasn't born yesterday. This character has some serious skills, and he's going to need to put those to use if he's to survive with dangerous assassins hot on his trail.

The Bourne Identity holds up as a surprisingly fresh and thoughtful action flick. So listen to Áine and Kevin chat about the film, and punch their way through light topics like amnesia, salient spy agency acronyms, and the nature of goodness.
