Bad actors

[COYBL25]

Big Daddy is amazing.

You're gonna be fine, baby doll!

His character in Kick Ass, is one of the most underrated performances in any film, as his performance in Leaving Las Vegas.

He's also pretty good in the remake of Bad Lieutenant too.

Cage is ace in :

Kick Ass
Raising Arizona.
Leaving Las Vegas.

He has no place in this thread.

Here, the Rock like. Himself and Connery, the dream team

That fight scene where he violently destroys a warehouse full of thugs was pretty class

It really is.

"Now switch to kryptonite! Now go to Robin's revenge! Take cover child!"

Haven't seen it - will add it to the list.

Talia Shire and Sofia Coppola. Obviously both related to Francis Ford Coppola hence why they were ever let near a film studio in the first place.
Sofia, so bad that Al Pacino threatened to walk out on Godfather 3.

Nicholas Cage, also related but picked the acting gene up from somewhere.

Forgot about that.

@dholliday if you haven't seen it I recommend you watch it - if you have then your thoughts on DiCaprio?

not seen it yet, love Kill Bill & Pulp Fiction, and Resevoir Dogs is great...the rest of Tarantino I still have to get through.

No, he's great in Resevoir Dogs and also pretty good in Kill Bill.

Also good in Blueberry...underrated strange psychedelic Western, also with Juliette Lewis.

Nicholas Cage, also related but picked the acting gene up from somewhere.

good in 8mm and Bringing out the Dead. And The Rock & Face Off he was also decent.

He let Chloe Moretz steal the limelight as Hit Girl, which probably moved her acting career forward by years.

How many other established actors would do that ?.

Cage is untouchable imo.

Little fact for you. Brad Pitt will not appear in a film unless he can eat all the way through it.
I thought I was the only sad tit who'd noticed this...so I googled it...he eats in every film. There's even YouTube clips dedicated to it.

haha really? that's weird as fook...will check it out

just never got Leo and don't think i ever will.

Love that film, so although I haven't seen it in ages, I can't accept that anyone wasn't amazing in it!!

Kirsten Dunst was a revelation! The books are also great, i read the trilogy way back when...EPIC!

good in 8mm and Bringing out the Dead. And The Rock & Face Off he was also decent.

Also good in - Ghost Rider and Birdy.

Cages problem is that he's done that many films, that people immediately point to the rubbish he's done and forget the good stuff.

Donald Pleasance, one of the all time greats, would never turn a film down either and as result did a fair amount of sh1t too.

My missus sometimes leans over to me and says "I'm going to take your face....off"! In a very quiet but menacing voice.
Should I be worried?

He's done some rubbish films but he's far from a rubbish actor.

Not seen it but I imagine he says it in a pathetic Ross-from-Friends drone.

Seriously? You should watch it and from the depiction of the man he portrayed in the book he did a good job.
