As soon as I saw the description of category 3 a voice in my head shouted “TOM HANKS”. I’m not even that much of a movie buff, so I’m suspicious about that voice.
I often get told I look like people. Javier is one. I really appreciate his craft, honesty, the way he approaches his roles.
Bardem has surprisingly avoided in his career many complete “turkeys”, but there are a few movies that he did the weren’t worth the price of admission.
Even investing a moment on the trailer is too much…
Very rarely have I watched a performance and thought, oh yeah, this guy’s getting an Oscar for this. Javier’s performance in No Country for Old Men was one of them.
Yeah, to this day, that performance is one of the most chilling in cinema for me. Just incredible.
