Sarsgaard was very good at looking absolutely cold.


He is an above average performer.

Totally agree. It was kind of obvious what was going to happen, as a result of that.

(And it didn't help that I watched Flightplan right after having just recently watched Lovelace, in which Sarsgaard played another baddie who starts out as a supposed good guy. Of course, Flightplan was made several years earlier.)

I fully agree. He looked and acted suspicious since the very beginning...

I thought he looked sleepy, or stoned. I've seen him in a number of things, and never remember his eyes being so squinty.
