Was I the only one who thought Damon was miscast? Yeah, it's cool seeing Matt Damon pop up unexpectedly, but not sure if he really fits the character of a misguided coward who is convinced he is the hero for humanity at large. It really immediately struck me watching the film that Terry O'Quinn (Locke from LOST) should have been the one cast, since he can play the cowardly, the courageous, the cocky, the wise, the optimistic, the pessimistic, and fearful man all basically within the same scene, which is what I think was required from the character.

And Marion Cotillard almost certainly should have had Anne Hathaway's role, although she certainly didn't give a bad performance.
