How is Colin still getting paid


He is box office poison

reply

He's a good actor and I don't believe he asks much. That's why he's still getting nice roles.

reply

Might want to try watching some of his less popular films, like Horrible Bosses or Seven Psycopaths. He's pretty solid in either of those.

reply

Whether his movies make money or not he still does a great job playing his part in them. You can't blame bad acting for the reason why some of his movies haven't made alot of money.

Agreed. I think he's made some bad film choices, but that has nothing to do with his acting abilities. I can't take anyone seriously who calls him a bad actor.

I feel the same about Nic Cage.

Farrell is a good actor that picks bad films. But he's famous and loved enough to still keep on getting work.

If box office was the sole predictor of whether actors continued to get work, there'd be a whole lot of once popular actors that couldn't scrape a job together, i.e. Julia Roberts, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, etc. Also, there are many steadily working actors that don't produce many so-called hits. Just look at Joaquin Phoenix or Ryan Gosling. They're popular but tend to do smaller films. I think Colin is in the same category minus the Oscar nominations.

His nominations will come. This new grown up version of Farrell is shinning as an actor.

He is fantastic. I love this guy.

I so very much want to argue with you about all the top notch stuff Farrell has done over the years (Tigerland, In Bruges, The Way Back for starters) but you're named after one of my favourite Faith No More songs so I can let it all slide!

He's why I went to see this movie. And he's the best thing in it - so is Noomi Rapace. The other story with Beatrice was the more interesting one.

Box office doesn't make a good movie or good actors moron.
