I heard Tim Robbins was terrible in this movie. Is that true?
Some friends of mine told me and a few others.

I thought he was good. Some could say he was a little "weird". I believe it was the character he was playing that made him look bad... compared to other roles he has played in other films.
shareNo, he wasn't terrible at all.
shareI thought Tim Robbins did a damn fine performance.
shareWe can't always expect a repeat of Shawshank Redemption or Jacob's Ladder without the backing script.
shareI thoroughly disliked his character, from which I conclude that I think his performance was splendid. I thought he did a great job of portraying a fiercely zealous investigator completely committed to his cause.

No, he was fine. Though some of the usual suspects -- far-right American ignorami whose only reactions are of the knee-jerk variety -- seem to think his portrayal sucks because he's some kind of pinko liberal hippie commie socialist pinko liberal pinko. Not that the average American teabagger or kin actually knows what this *socialism* they're so afraid of actually IS.
A few of Afrika's Master Race here seem to be upset by the film and its implications, too, going way beyond reasonable arguments such that the ANC were hardly angels (and the film does touch on this to a degree) and obviously pining for the days when the darkies were kept in their place, strumming their banjos down on the old levee (well, VELDT, actually). Fairly pathetic, really.
