And it's a so so job. Honestly, not embarrassing.

Pitt? It was more of a typical McConaughey role. I couldn't stop thinking of him while watching this.

Yes, more of a McConaghey role, but with an overwhelming physical presence that the small McConaghey couldn't bring. Hemsworth's Billy Lee is a big, powerful, looming, sexually charismatic guy, and has the aura of someone who will fuck you up literally or figuratively. I thought Hemsworth was good.

Brad Pitt has never played a scary guy in his life, not successfully anyway, and his sexual charisma bled away during the Spiderwoman years. Pitt should give up acting and look after his kids.

I thought Pitt was pretty convincingly scary in "Kalifornia" of 1993, where he played a low-IQ hillbilly psychopathic killer with greasy long hair and great abs -- I felt that Hemsworth here was copying Brad Pitt's performance there -- he even looks the same. Hemsworth here is playing a Charles Manson type, and has a vacant "cult girl" follower who is mirrored in Pitt's vacant hillbilly girlfriend(Juliette Lewis) in Kalifornia.

Pitt doesn't go this over the top. First reply mentioned MM and know I see it.
