He never blinks


I was reading a GQ article that said Clive Owen doesn't blink in this movie and it's true. There are scenes that last for 40 seconds and he doesn't once blink an eye --- that's hard to do.

He probly didnt even think about it.


LOL ive noticed when i play xbox 360 i dont blink for a while my eyes will start to burn.

It's a technique used by Michael Caine when Clive Owen was still in diapers.

It was too much a stretch for his acting ability.

Actually, he clearly blinks in some scenes. Pay attention, he may do it only around...three times throughout the whole movie, but he does do it.

thats real dodgy, isn't it bad for your eyes not to blink?

He blinks once that I saw, when he is sitting in his van talking to Charlotte Rampling and she is encouraging Will to flee.

I was fascinated by his non-blinking eyes the first few times I saw this film, I thought I was the only one who noticed it.

While the script of the film is spare, Owen is superb in this role.
