@MN5 Big Liam did his career in reverse to lots of actors. Did a range of roles in his younger days and then became an action star as a pensioner, whereas other guys do the action when (relatively) younger and then try to do more character roles when older to prove they can act.
I think his performances in Schindlers List and Rob Roy were outstanding but yeah, his career trajectory is a funny old one as mentioned on here numerous times.
This scene here gets me EVERY time. So powerful.

I don’t think there’s an actor alive with such range and versatility as Liam Neeson.
I’ve never EVER seen him in a role like this. Ever.
That looks awful, even by recent Liam Neeson standards.

I’ve never EVER seen him in a role like this. Ever."First they came for his daughter, then they came for his wife, then his dog and his family. But now Bryan Mills faces his greatest danger yet. This his time he must fight for his sanity and soul."
"Taken 9: The Budgie In Danger"

It cut the bit where the topless hottie had a whinge at him and called him a child.
Gosh that gun sure was powerful.

How Ralph Fiennes didn't win an Oscar for that performance is beyond me. Staggering acting.

All three main actors deserved some sort of award. Feinnes was SO hatable. It really threw me seeing him as such a nice guy in the English Patient…..
….and conversely it threw me seeing Ben Kingsley go from a mild mannered accountant to this !!!!
All the supporting actors were amazing too.
Tom Hanks won that year I believe. So woke.
Spielberg is a movie making genius.

Gratuitous nudity and Ana de Armas
plot twist, all you see is JFK's cock
Ahh, fuck it, I'm still in
I’m a bit concerned. Are her tits big enough ?
No. but neither were Ashley Judd's/ Mira Sorvino's and I still liked that movie.
A mate of mine wants to know when they got their boobs out?

Hanks won Best Actor - Fiennes was in line for Best Supporting Actor but it went to Tommy Lee Jones for the Fugitive.
But yeah, early signs of wokism.
Plus The Piano. The fucking Piano for Christ's sake.
I'm off now to drink too much gin, listen to Leonard Cohen and search for a razor blade.

Ah, fuck, now I've added Sexy Beast to the download queue.
Every time I watch it, I forget that there's actually a heist at the end of it - the "set-up" in the Spanish (?) villa could/should be a movie in its own right. A standalone single-set.
Would make an excellent play, when I think about it.
A fucking brilliant profanity-laden play.
The TSF edit, with the word "fluffybunny" substituted - spat with full vehemence - would also a good watch. -

Kingsley was just awesome, movie on the whole not quite as much although Ray Winstone and the guy who played Lovejoy were good too.

I'm watching Schindler's List for the 1st time.
Spreading it over 2 nights cos too long and kids.
Got about an hour to go.
So far it's not very funny.
Don’t bother mate. I was told it was a three tissue movie and do you know, not one wank worthy moment.
