I felt Damon was good as he rose to power and met the girl, etc. but as he settled into his life and the heat was getting closer I felt his acting wasn't as good (or at last his character wasn't as interesting) not having much to offer when he wasn't in full alpha mode.I also thought Vera Farmiga (sp?) did bring something to her role and did a worhtwile job. Not saying (at all) others couldn't have also done it but I wouldn't dismiss her so easily.
A note on JN. When I saw it the audience was laughing at most of his lines by half-way through the movie.
