Best Tom Wilkinson performance I've seen

He was really good as the loud, egocentric, bumbling real estate scam artist. Funny but totally believable all the way - nothing over the top. On a par with Dennis Farina as Ray Bones in Get Shorty, another of my favourite 'top dog' bad guys in another of my favourite movies. Anyone agree (or disagree)?

I think you need to watch more films. His performance in this was embarressing. The character didnt really help him much, if you`re looking for one of his better peformances, then, Michael Clayton is up there.

"What was that, an exhibition?"

You nailed that one, This is actually one of his weakest roles. He is superb in Michael Clayton though.

This is actually one of his weakest roles.

I think you need a good cuppa, a Bex and a quiet lie down. You've clearly been out in the sun too much.

I love his humbling performance in 'The Excorcism Of Emily Rose".

Yes, he's always great, but he was magnificent in RocknRolla.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too) 🐈
