Doug IS ON A DATE WITH A FORMER HOSTAGE. 2.Doug is very much aware of Claire having seen Jems tattoo(which should only inspire to reject her further),Jem does.Not.Know. How could he? He sadistically lingers and hints but only cause he think Doug is being stupid wanting this specific tail...Jem is correct.Wellwritten piece of you.<br /><br />Renner only actor of the 5 who didn´t t win a single award due to the films genre and plot. No matter how good a film by Affleck is,it can only harnest a supporting actor nom,2nd time now.Christopherrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-47441523426257132582011-02-11T07:20:47.478-08:002011-02-11T07:20:47.478-08:00I didn't like this film much overall, but ther...I didn't like this film much overall, but there's no doubt that Renner was by far the best thing about it, and in some ways the only element that really worked all the way through. It's an intense and nuanced performance, bringing a lot of life and energy to this character who could've (and probably would've) been just another puddle-deep movie tough guy in the hands of a lot of other actors. What a death scene, too, more for the little touches — like that sip of soda he grabs from a discarded fast food drink container — than for the big action hero gestures.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-67213944807183900882011-02-10T18:05:07.863-08:002011-02-10T18:05:07.863-08:00this was certainly a fascinating performance and o...this was certainly a fascinating performance and one i thought was better than his performance in he hurt locker (whcih i thought was a bit overrated).Candice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-3842956950822643212011-02-10T12:09:22.234-08:002011-02-10T12:09:22.234-08:00I agree, I found Renner's performance fascinat...I agree, I found Renner's performance fascinating, it was one of the best aspects of the film. <br />Very well written!Jack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.com
