John Malkovich was absolutely stunning portraying him in the fairly limited screen time he had in this movie. Not that I know the guy personally, but nobody could have played the part of a pompous yet intelligent corporatist better. I gave it an extra point for him alone, I'd say overall it's a solid 7, better than what I expected.

I personally felt that the scene where he goes to visit Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) to threaten him was a bit over the top. But John Malkovich was brilliant as always.

It seemed maybe a little over the top, but he played it masterfully, not actually threatening him but making sure he knew he was "in charge".

I don't think he was threatening him as such, other than trying to assert his authority as you say, however, it seemed to me like he was trying to get Mike to tell him the rig was in poor shape, bad repair, as that would give him more ammo to blame the owners of DWH for the delay in getting the well done. Mike seemed wise to this though and gave him nothing.

Agreed, I thought he and the rest of the cast all did a fantastic job.
