Sarah Churchwell: The Bourne Ultimatum and The Matt Damon trilogy obeys the action movie rule: women just stand around looking anxious
How true and of course movies are directed at under 30s mainly, so the role models for young women are so bad, so often!
There are a lot of comments on this in the Guardian on line
This is a spot on article and the result so much vitriol! Strut out the clichés action men. There was also a mention of a feisty woman. I came across this word ‘feisty’ recently to describe strong but powerless women - which of course is the whole point!
