What the Hell happened to Adrien Brody's career???


He went from winning an Oscar to doing this straight to video mess! What a shame.

I definitely have to agree with you there, he's such a talented actor, and I can't believe he agreed to do this garbage.

Full disclosure: I'm arguably the biggest Adrien Brody fan on the planet.

That said, I definitely agree with you. This is just an absolute mess of a movie! I actually felt badly for him being in this. You can almost see him regretting his decision as you go. ;)

His character's mannerisms reminded me of my own brother. Both wannabe gangster tough guys. That, in itself, creeped me out. Why was my celeb crush playing my brother? Make it stoooopp!

If you compare his Oscar winning role to Frankie here, I'd say Frankie was even better! I liked the movie. Don't get all the hate.

Just by chance I ended up last night watching 'The Experiment' with Brody, and this today - was just thinking same, what's happened to Brody's career?! Definitely a steep downward spiral - maybe the Oscar curse they talk about?

It's as if his career was punctured by his nose.

How did this characters huge nose survive all that small time crookery without being plastered across his face, just no basic creditbility, I didn't even wait to see the heist before walking out
