You know, I agree with that assessment of Damon. He does not wear well on the screen. I can't think of a single role he played in which I didn't feel Damon fatigue by the end of the film.
In "Ripley," his limite range almost worked for him, making his appear more of a sociopathic conundrum. Otherwise, I find his work extremely workmanlike and uninspiring. To be fair, I haven't seen all his movies.
Now, with Cruise, I would disagree. Yes, it's easy to get tired of his pretty-boy, physical appeal. But he CAN carry a movie, and he has given some very fine performances, Jordan's CONVERSATION WITH A VAMPIRE comes to mind.
