Yikes, is he he horrible.


Just saw him for the first time in Dolan's Cadillac.
Shockingly bad.I cringed every time he was on screen.
I guess that explains him list of jobs you can write on the back of your hand.
Amazing he gets any gigs.

I used to love him, but after the 3rd, 4th, 5th terrible movie from him, I gave up on him.

It seems like he can act, as long as he stays within his range-- i.e complete and utter psychos, or at least, characters with some significant mental obsessions. He has the range of a high school drama student...

And that makes me sad, because he's cute. D:

Watching Dolans Cadillac now and he kinda sucks...

Totally wooden, no emotion at all. :S What the hell?

reply

That's because he was fighting a drug addiction at the time. I'm glad The Hunger Games gave him a chance to bounce back.

there's always someone coming up with excuses.. you know how many people in hollywood have drug addiction? why can't people just admit that this guy cannot act?

I loved him in dolans catalac! I love him generally he's so god damn gorgeous!! I wanna see more of him he's so talented and natural! Think he's got such a huge fan base especially with the ladies ;-) and I'm one of them!
Im young but yet not very wise

The only good role he's had was American Beauty. The rest were all terrible. At least The Hunger Games had Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson, and Elizabeth Banks to distract our attention from him.

Personally, I feel his acting has been exceptional since coming clean and staying sober. Previous times I think he was just in the drug haze. The raw chops are there and he is now stretching those muscles. Maybe one day he will surprise you I hope. If not, you don't have to watch his movies.

guess you missed P2, and he was great in the hunger games. Christopher Nolan thinks he's a good actor and he's a legendary director, who the fk are you?
