John Turturro is a wonderful actor


Sure, he only has a minor role in this movie, but he nails it. For movies with a larger John Turturro presence, go for Do the Right Thing, Miller's Crossing, or Barton Fink.

He's a very versatile, very underrated actor. He has both dramatic and comedic chops. He kicks ass in funny, goofy Adam Sandler movies, and also is great in serious roles like Spike Lee dramas, for example. And then he's also amazing in both funny/dramatic parts like his Coen Brothers roles.

I'd cast this man in just about anything.

Brilliant how you feel bad for him in Miller's Crossing the first time he's crying for his life and the second time you're like, "Just shoot the motherfucker..."

He's brilliant in all of those.
