Every Matt Damon Movie Ranked Worst To Best

59. Rising Son (1990)

The Martian Matt Damon
Turner Entertainment

This slice-of-life TV drama was one of Damon's earliest projects, casting him as a young aspiring doctor who returns home in hopes of changing career paths. Damon is actually pretty good in the role, showing off the skills that he would come to perfect later in his career, but the film itself is weakly produced and oozes forced sentimentality.

It wants to be a deep social commentary, but never pushes itself to be anything more than a generic made-for-TV dud.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
