Not on a roll at the moment?


Now, I love CB, but I wonder if he's not picking the best roles at the recently? A while back I was interested to see him in everything he did, but 'The Big Short' aside, I haven't been tempted by much of his output in the last few years. 'Exodus: Gods & Kings' seemed hopelessly miscast, 'Knight of Cups' sounded right up its own backside and now 'The Promise' gives me the impression of a good opportunity wasted on soapy theatrics. However good he may or may not be in these, they're not appealing much to me as movies.

Just a thought. Not saying he's not talented or delightful to look at - far from it. And that all being said, I AM looking forward to 'Hostiles' next year - love a western, and '3.10 to Yuma' was great!

If anything I hope Hostiles will be a better film.
