The Bourne movies, to borrow from everybody else, pretty much redefine the action genre, and put the rest to shame.
Zacharek's description of Damon in a leather helmet fit for a 1940s football player makes me jealous I didn't phrase it first.
Possibly the greatest contribution of these movies is the depiction of a relentless, completely badass assassin with a heart who doesn't speak in glib one-liners.
However, I still can't look at the still moments of Damon without thinking of "Team America," and the deadpan delivery of the Matt Damon puppet who only said, "Matt Damon."
