well, to further explain my point...
see his lack of acting ability sort of worked for his character actually, he looked always a bit "out of place" and "awkward" and that's totally what alot of his character was about and experiencing...
tim roth did totally carry that movie, no doubt, but I think the contrast between his acting ability and the vibrancy he brough to his character and the lack of acting ability and the awkwardness of the protaginist actually in some strange way enhanced the movie as a whole for me and seemed to lend a bit of authenticity to the movie.
I think if he was better at acting, it may have detracted from his character as part of his charm was his awkwardness, meekness, and "regular joe schmo thrust into an intense and complex situation".
if he were alot more slick with his acting, it may have prehaps been a stronger movie but it kinda would at least partially lose some of the actual tone that I got from the movie as a whole experience...
I just think that his mediocre acting really fit his character's role in the film...
