JUST WATCHED GOOD MOVIE


Truly Solid performance. Could have been great if the third act/climax made into something Epic large canvas. Good breakthrough role for Gibson.

Good breakthrough role for Gibson? Where have you been? Have you seen the Lethal Weapon series? The original Mad Max series?

I tell ya, this Mel Gibson kid, he's going places...

reply

Hahaha! Good one Fred! The poster's remark about breakthrough role reminds me of the remark made on YouTube about Kanye West's video featuring Paul McCartney. "Boy that new guy is going to have a great career thanks to Kanye! I never laughed so hard that some one would not know who Paul McCartney is!

What can I say? There's a generation now that's primarily experienced the last ten years or so of pop culture. Gibson's been keeping a mostly low key profile in that time, and the films he's done since haven't exactly been mega-blockbusters like the average superhero franchise.

True Fred. So true. Mel is such a good actor. I have seen him do things in film that are incredible acting. He can cry convincingly and he makes you feel his pain. Movies like The Patriot, Ransom and Payback have shown me anyway that he is a great actor.

check out Dragged Across Concrete,
this is a great performance by a veteran actor (not a breakthru)

I think he gave one of his best performances in that one. Loved the movie.
