Summary
A man is pulled from the Mediterranean with two bullets in his back and no memory of who he is. Discovering he has lethal combat skills, multiple passports, and a Swiss bank account, he sets out across Europe with a young woman to uncover his identity, while a covert CIA program hunts him to keep its secrets buried.
The Bourne Identity is a 2002 action, mystery and thriller film.
7,846 other films from the 2000s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 678 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 697 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Bourne Identity lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 678.
