Every Matt Damon Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Though it is George Clooney's Oscar-winning performance that is the stand-out of this slick, time-jumping thriller, Matt Damon's subtle supporting turn as an energy analyst works wonders with Stephen Gaghan's twisting script.

Damon is at once a grieving father, an arrogant businessman and a symbol of American confidence, and though he sometimes simply gives away much-needed exposition, his delivery is sublime.

Syriana is smart, purposefully confusing and bursting with ideas, and works perfectly at every turn.
