Ben's sidekick, Matt Damon, is starring in a similar type movie, opening soon. I forgot the name but saw a trailer yesterday on tv. Matt may play many characters successfully in his career, but action hero he ain't. Same for Boston Ben A. Earnest young men both of them: urban white professionals. Hit men, spies, great lovers, etc.---no.
Can't resist another Matt D comment: anything more pathetic than seeing him as the love interest of Penelope Cruz (whatever was the name of that dumb oater?) About as believable as she and Nick "Ok. where'd I put my hairpiece?"Cage...
Follow Ups:
"The Bourne Identity" from Robert Ludlum's book of the same name. Matt Damon seems horribly miscast in the role, but maybe he'll prove me wrong.
the New Yorker mag in this week's issue's review states how miscast poor Matt is. He just doesn't look like a spy, and in film, looks are everything. I mean, who's going to be the next James Bond...Jude Law???
Jude Law?Actually I think he would play a half-decent James Bond. If you've seen A.I., he definitely has the charisma. Except, I think he's Australian and would have to work on a Connery-ish accent.
