Matthew Modine? Really?


The filmmakers couldn't find someone believably sexy? Anyone but Matthew Modine. There's nothing about him remotely sexy. I'd rather have seen him die as the husband and Alec Baldwin be the FBI agent. MUCH MORE believable. Modine is a character actor, period.

I don't think she wanted someone sexy. Coming from the mob she just wanted a nice safe guy.

Yeah I didn't particularly like Modine in this movie, but I did think his character represented exactly the kind of guy Angela would've been looking for at that point in her life. So his casting didn't take me out of the movie.

Tom Cruise said no. He opted to do cocktail instead. Neither one are good, in my opinion

In the trivia section it says that they rewrote the script 6 times to get Cruise on board.

I agree, there is nothing sexy about Modine. He is so goofy.

It irkes me that ppl consider Tom Cruise sexy or strikingly handsome. Honestly, I don't think he's either of the two. He's short, has a parrot nose, crazy eyes. I just never understood the appeal with him. Mathew Modine is boy next door cute. I think he's handsome and charming.

I had no problem with his casting. He was rather funny.



Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

I don't believe his character was supposed to be "sexy."


Dick, I am VERY disappointed.

I could not disagree more

Modine said:

"My guess is that Connie is the one person Tony actualy fears, who knows why?
but it borders on the pathological"

What is up with the way he said that? Seemed weird.



"That is rather slippery of you agent Starling"

I thought they had great chemistry.
