Crispin Glovers performance...


Amazing. The crazy tone and inflection of his voice, all his "speeded-out" mannerisms, his (dull one moment emblazened another) eyes. Wow. All of it. He is amazing in this movie, and the major reason I keep coming back to this movie.

Watched it today for the first time, could not believe how awful and distracting Glover was. Good flick, but his performance (to me) was laughable. Glad to see I'm not alone, but he certainly does have a rabid fanbase

Crispin was amazing in this, certainly nailed the typical speed freak of that time.
That's what the director wanted and that's what he was going for.

Anyway, Dennis Hopper owned this movie.
One of the most brilliant actors of all time brought his shining talent to this movie.

He was a bit OTT, but I think that was what the character demanded?

Crispin Glover has been criticized for playing the same character in every movie he is in.

That his character portrayal was both entertaining and highly disturbing at the same time is a testament to his performance.
