I saw Martinez with his girlfriend and their German Shepard in the Marriage de Frere Tea House in Paris one summer. Whether he's banging Richard Gere's wife in Unfaithful or playing a disgruntled cop with too few lines here, Olivier always adds something to the cinema.
Well, I don't doubt that he's capable of better performances, but this one was pretty ordinary, in my opinion. There was nothing to his character in this flick that wasn't put there by the scripted dialogue. He just did a connect-the-dots on it.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
Well, see, I don't agree with that. I can understand if you see some eye-candy value in him, but when I said "connect-the-dots", I meant he merely got his lines more-or-less right and presumably in the right order.
As an actor I don't think he's much to write home about.

The only reason I watched this film was to see Olivier Martinez. He is breathtakingly beautiful, perhaps the sexiest actor alive his age. His acting was significantly better in Le hussard sur le toit but he was especially handsome in The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone. He really doesn't have to do anything but look pretty, the acting is a bonus.
