- The movie is not better with George Clooney as Mendez; Affleck is really good.
- Casey Affleck did not seem old enough in 2012.
- Damon as Mendez is also a no.
- A 2021 version would likely cast Mendez according to his ethnic background.
- Which of the six would you be: Scoot questioning everything and smoking, Tate Donovan with too much Zeppelin and scotch, or Cleo Duval?
- One answer would demand to know why Mendez used a fake name and ask about his past missions, likened to a David Kahn joke; the other would ask him to share more about himself.
- Learning a new identity would be crammed the night before, with jokes about the all-star game and When the Levee Breaks on repeat.
