hate to be the book-was-better-than-the-movie guy, but i thought "the bourne identity" was the epitomy of this. i thought the cast and direction was fine, but they really dropped all the interesting subplots (and MAIN plot) from the novel. and that final jump off the stairwell, shoot guy, and land on a body was a damn anticlmactic end! if you liked the movie, though, do check out the novel(s).
