John Cusack steal the show...


I did not have high expectations watching this movie and i enjoy it a lot in fact... but what about Cusack... this is the kind of performance that could and should have give him at least a nom at a Golden Globe for best supporting actor. The guy is very good and capture the audience every time he is on screen. He look very confident in that kind of role and put on a strong performance that we rarely see in a supporting role like this !

Last Movies: - Star Trek Into Darkness: 4/5
- Pain & Gain: 3,5/5
- Oblivion: 4/5

Recently he has been making movies that allowed him to show his dark side, and this rom-com 80's guy breaking bad vibe is awesome, I hope that he continues in this fashion and judging by schedule we're in for a treat.

Cusack was good. But if anyone stole the show it was Vanessa Hudgens. She was very good in this role.

I have to be honest i never EVER took john cusack seriously as and actor ever .I always thought he was a joke of and actor .He always seemed like he never took what he did serious .Then i saw this movie the rating it was given on here is a 6.2 .After seeing john in this i'm giving it a 8 solely because of him he even made cage look bad .Nick cage is another actor i could never take seriously the way he delivers his lines he could put and insomniac to sleep.Totally uninteresting actor ms.hudgens was pretty good too.This is the house that john built the rest of these actors are just guests .

My mother would show up on time and know all her lines but who wants to pay to see my mother?

Wow, very pretentious.

Golden Globe? Get out of here. He wasn't that good. The only parts where he showed any kind of acting skills were in the interrogation room, especially in the end, but in no way he could be nominated for such award. That was decent acting.

totally agree with cinemalove, Cusak is amazing, in this movie his character is so scary.

I think Vanessa Hudgens stole the show. She made an amazing performance that made me forget who she was at times. Cusack was just being Cusack, aka awesome, as usual.

Both Cusack & Cage are great actors. But Cusack transcended himself into a mature professional real-deal actor that can do both pro / an tagonist.

Just a handful actors can do this naturally - jack nicholson, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro.

Cusack just entered the Hall of Fame =), Kudos.

Check out The Paperboy; he portrayed an even creepier villain in that. He was great in The Frozen Ground, but truly amazing in The Paperboy.

I love when Cusack plays dark roles. I didn't used to be a fan either.
