except that the bourne books predated enemy of the state the movie.

except that will smith was a lawyer who was just caught up in some shit accidental like and wound up an unwitting target of a politician trying to keep some shit under wraps, and bourne was a highly trained assassin with amnesia trying to figure out who he was while being hunted down by the people who created him.

except that they monitored robert deans every move with bugs and satellites, whereas jason bourne could be right under their noses and they wouldn't notice till he told him

one film shows how the government can be peeping toms and fuck with every facet of our lives if they want to

the other shows how the government gets down with their international espionage game

don't let the satellite feeds fool you

while there is some common ground here, it's a helluva reach to say that these are the same movie

if you *really* wanted to go in on the bourne films, The Long Kiss Goodnight was the correct choice.
