His only other passable roles were playing a man with no emotions at all because that's how he comes across usually anyway and his role in The FighterI applaud his dedication physically to his roles though. What he put himself through to go from The Machinist to Batman Begins and again from The Fighter to Dark Knight Rises was staggering. But that doesn't make him a good actor.
He scrapes a pass as Patrick Bateman and his roles in The Prestige. Everything else is laughably bad.
This is all just terrible Scrapes a pass as Patrick Bateman? He was dope as hell in The Prestige. Shows no emotion? Wtf.
Physical transformation IS a facet of acting. His performance in The Fighter was "passable"?
Jesus.
okay.
Renee Zellwegger > Meryl Streep.
😐
please explain how gaining or losing weight helps an actor convey an emotion. It helps with the visual... it convinces us that the actor is really an aids patient or whatever, but it has nothing to do with actual acting. That's like saying chopping off all your hair, or sitting in a makeup chair for 12 hours makes you a quality actor.
c'mon.

He was a terrible Patrick Bateman. Came across as too comical with one scene as an exception which is when he was peeling off his face mask. James Van Der Beek was much better as Sean Bateman.
He was awful in the Prestige. Terrible accent. Hammy as **** especially the scene when he's in jail. Every time he does a scene when he has to act angry it's just cringe inducingly bad. He's just generally awful at acting.
