I feel like Ray Liotta's performance was the worst...


He came across so fake and cringe, his expressions and voice were so forced, and he gave off the vibe of a church door greeter who just crapped his diaper. Also, it looked like he had too many plastic surgeries and couldn't move all the muscles in his face anymore, I don't know if that's makeup or what.

The performances of some of the characters like Silvio and Junior were so exaggerated too, it didn't fit for whatever reason, like maybe they were too young for those kind of mannerisms or something, I'm not really sure. It was distracting me the whole time.

Yeah Liotta is a shit actor

reply

Wow. Could not disagree more. I liked him here, but also: MARRIAGE STORY? SOMETHING WILD? He was great in those films.

reply

He's the best actor in the movie. The twin twist was cheap, though. An excuse to keep him around.

reply

I am hearing theories he didn't even exist. (the twin)

reply

I thought he did great despite only being in the movie for about 5 mins combined

reply

It was a little over the top when he was cracking some joke and cackling.

reply

Was he the one in jail?

reply

It's the wanting.

reply

I thought Liotta was good, my only complaint is that Jon Bernthal was criminally underused.
