as opposed to when Gene Hackman picks up the saxophone after ripping up
his
apartment in The Conversation ... which is awesome.

For some reason I've seen several recent movies starring Matt Damon
(Good
Shepherd, Bourne whatever, Oceans 13) and was reminded each time how
much
better said movie would have been had it been made in the 70s and
featured
Gene Hackman instead of Matt Damon.  Matt Damon has the depth of a ginsu
knife.  Yes it's shiny and slices and dices, like the movies mentioned
in
the parentheses, but it's flat and lacks character.

PG:
Excellent Matt Damon/Gene Hackman parallel! But yeah, Hackman is about
100 times better an actor...compare "The Conversation" with that new
crappy CIA film with Matt Damon...oh, I'm sorry, there is no comparison!
And it's not just the performances by the main actors, the problem with
the new MD installment is that there isn't an ounce of suspense
anywhere...Perkis and I walked out totally disgusted...I think we
decided that film is a new milestone in "you know everything that will
happen before it happens"...
