Billy Bob Thornton's acting


His performance was probably the most underrated in the past 20 years. He was completely unrecognizable, like Kim Novak in Vertigo. He should have won the Oscar.

Yeah, he was very good. He said he loved playing this role.

One of his best performances. Definitely Oscar worthy!!

agreed. it was like he had a prosthetic on his face or something.

Really? I thought the scene in the truck, where he's talking to Paxton about that old girlfriend, was good. Besides that, the character was ridiculous.
