Best performance from Kilmer since Doc Holliday


Anyone agree?

reply

Absolutely agree. He was mesmerizing in this. I would throw in the caveat of that I loved his quiet and spare performance as Chris Shiherlis in Heat.

I agree, in fact it is probably because of his performance in both of these movies that I enjoyed them so much.

The name is Stephen and I'm male.

Yeah I wish Val would take on more awesome roles like these.

Doc Holiday is oscar worthy acting IMO. And this is the Val Kilmer I've been waiting for. I don't think it's his fault that theres crap scripts out there. He has to make a living somehow.

Directors should see the potential in Kilmer. The cat's still got it!!!

kilmer is SO underrated, he literally turned himself into jim morrison -- i was blown away by his performance; i also like several other movies he made; seems hollywood has turned their back on him for some reason sorta like my man mickey rourke -- who made a tremendous performance and should've won for "the wrestler"... man did rourke look hot in that movie, his body was amazing and yes i still think kilmer and rourke are hot !!

If you haven't watch The Salton Sea, do so. Just as good a performance at least.

Excuse ME! while I eat this pie...

He was very good in Wonderland (2003) as John Holmes! I've noticed, and I think he's at his best when playing "real life people" like Doc Holliday, Jim Morrison... and to mention what about movies like Salton Sea (2002) & Heat (1995)? Hmmm?
