Goddamn she sucks. Not even an ok performance, it was awful from start to finish. Her on screen presence is *beep* irritating. She singlehandedly ruined a classic.
shareNo she didn't, and you sound like someone who hasn't lived in the real world if you find her performance lacking in authenticity. To call this movie a classic while saying her performance ruined it makes no sense either.
Bahahahahaha! I have never read a more hilariously incorrect statement than yours.
She made this film.
She sucked BAD. She still sucks today. Always has always will be. AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE CUZ I SAID SO!
shareDunno if you're trolling or not, but yes she sucked in this movie. She was half asleep in every scene
shareNo definitely not trolling. FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT REAL ACTING IS!! Pam Grier couldn't act her ass out of a box. She had one expression through the whole film, an expression that looked like she just downed two bottles of NyQuil then did a line of Coke to stay awake
shareI totally agree, her performance always bothered me and kept me from really enjoying the movie. You know how she sweet talks and manipulates Ordell and Ray? Well it seemed like she was doing that the ENTIRE movie; acting. Even when talking to Max and supposedly being genuine, she was so stiff and wooden that it seemed like it was all an act and she was reading lines she cooked up and thought the other person wanted to hear. Made it really difficult to determine her true motivations, and even rewatching, it seems like she's just playing Max. But she's not, it's just her acting.
There were a few moments where she seemed strong and sassy and perfect for the role, but for the most part she just seemed so... disconnected.
She was amazing in this and deserved an Oscar nom. When you consider the winner that year was the insipid Helen Hunt in the equally tired As Good As It Gets, the crime is even more heinous!
shareOp
Tom cruise ruins everytning for me
check yourself before you wreck yourself BOI!!
Like Ordell told Max, she is too cool for school. JB was a 44 year old woman who has been to jail and seen it all so there was no reason for her to play it but calm and cool. I thought PG was perfect in the role.
shareGrier's no Helen Mirren but I think she's just one of those people who has natural appeal and screen presence; I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Even the much younger and attractive Bridget Fonda didn't hold a candle to Grier.
