I had written this guy off as nothing but a talent-free pretty boy, indistinguishable from every other bestubbled "leading man" that Hollywood is defecating out today.
Well, color me wrong! Though he wasn't quite up to the level of Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster, he more than held his own. And he deserves WAY better than the noxious franchise product that he is currently being given by Hollywood.
He has shown this before it's just that most people other than he's fans know of it. Unfortunately Hollywood likes to give these franchises to actors that look like chris because they can milk more money. But thanks to joe Carnahan who gave chris a chance to show he's acting chops, it's leading to more complex roles hopefully.
I always say never judge a book by it's cover

I knew he had the acting chops, but he still blew me away. Good job, CP. :)
shareHe shocked the hell out of me when he brutally bashed up those punks, it looked so real so brutal.

Completely agree with you. Chris was amazing in this movie and deserves Oscar nomination for his brilliant performance.
shareHe was sensational in HorHW . glad you liked it .
Pine is very versatile actor and can do drama or comedy really well.
Check out Z for Zachariah if you have the chance. It came out just last year and is a very underrated film he did with Margot Robbie. Pine was really good in that as well.
Wanting to see more serious work from Mr. Pine, then watch People Like Us in which he is excellent. It is a heartbreakingly beautiful film that includes Elizabeth Banks as a half-sister he did not know he had and Michelle Pfeiffer as his mother. Chris and Michelle are amazing together in their scenes.
After that, watch Into The Woods in which he almost steals the show as Cinderella's Prince. Chris's singing is unexpectedly good and he plays - to quote him in interviews - "the most fully realized two-dimensional person in the film".
He is a very talented singer and was selected to record a couple songs with Barbra Streisand for her latest album that was released a couple months ago. He said that she first called him, he was afraid that she wanted him to sing with her on the entire recording; when it became clear to him that she only meant two songs, he was giddy with relief and said "yes".
Chris seems to be thoughtful, intelligent, well-read, and certainly no ones fool. He can be very droll during interviews. It has been fascinating to watch him handle TV hosts who treat him in a shallow, disrespectful manner by pointedly looking at them as if they had embarrassed themselves, them waiting with non-mocking dignity for the next subject. Each time I have seen this, he appears very credible and they look stupid, yet he has done nothing overt except to not credit their stupid remarks. He is far more polished than they will ever be.
One thing that Chris appears to understand is that his work is the proof of his talent and skills. He certainly isn't afraid to try different genres to test himself. Good for him!.
A Checkered Life speaks of myriad diverse adventures being the rewards of endless curiosity.
Well said just one thing i can't blame him for the interviews i definitely know i wouldn’t cope I'd want to knock out the interviewer 😂😂. I seriously don’t know how any actor gets through them without falling asleep or knocking them out. Lols

He was great. I hope he gets more quality roles.
