looks interesting, but...


.. I can NOT stand Willem Dafoe.. He's a old actor, but the dude gives me the creeps.

I'd value any actor which gave me such an impression.

Willem Dafoe owns bones. The man is one of the most adept and versatile actors out there, and remains uncompromising in the roles he takes despite mainstream preferences.

He's a monument to the craft.

Thanks, Cinemachinery, for saying what I would have wanted to say, but would never have put it so well. Yes, there is something about him, but even in something like Body of Evidence (the Madonna one), which everyone but me seems to think is a major turkey, he rocked the Casbah!

I agree - he's pretty awesome.

I don't like Willem Dafoe, I never did. There's something skeevy about him that comes across gross and creeper in every movie he's ever been in. He's got a real "I just did lines off your 12 year old daughter's ass" vibe oozing out all his pores. Which sometimes suits the role, most times doesn't.

I thought Dafoe gave a very strong and effective performance in this film. The scene in which he says goodbye to his daughter via Skype was positively heartbreaking.
