his performance is excellent indeed, but why would you be surprised. He's great in almost everything he's done, take a look at After Dark My Sweet and Narc if you haven't already.

Superb one-take scene in the baths.

Yeah the bathhouse scene was great in a creepy, weird way, lol. Never understand why he doesn't get the acting props he deserves, while most people tend to just know him for "Speed 2". Thankfully more people are seeing "Narc" and seeing how good he can be (while not A+ acting, some tend to forget he was essentially the main character of "The Lost Boys"). "Narc" fans also wanna check out "Rush" where he played an undercover narc in the 70's who with his partner Jennifer Jason Leigh get addicted to heroin while trying to take down one of the Allman brothers, lol.
shareHe should have been nominated/won more awards for this role.
shareAmazing performance! What a great a character it probably was for him to work on. Superbly written by Labute... Patric was perfect for it. That steam bath monologue gave me chills!!!!

Yea i actually ended up disliking this movie after seeing it, but jason patric was so damned good in it. I was floored that he could give such a great preformance. they should have just made a movie centered just on his character. One of the best performances ive ever scene gotta say.
shareI was friends with him in high school.
I asked him if any of that speech was improvised. He said, "every pause, every semi-colon, every comma, every word came from Labute."
Great performance.
