Cochofles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I don't understand why Costner hasn't had a Liam-Neeson-style career resurrection. Now, before you say "Because Neeson is the MAN and a much better actor!" I ask this because what Costner lacks in amazing acting talent, he more than makes up in likability and charm. Also, wasn't he like a really nice guy back when he was an A-lister? You'd think that by now, he would've gotten his career-back-from-the-dead film that would get him an Oscar nod ala Stallone. Anyway, I like him and I hope this film breaks out, not only for Costner, but for Oldman and Gadot, both of whom I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the thing with Liam Neeson is that he had never really done action movies before, he was primarily a dramatic actor known for movies like Schindler's List. So when he starred in Taken it was a new brand of Liam Neeson. Whereas Kevin Costner - as well as names like Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sly Stallone - these guys were always action stars and therefore the public has inevitably grown a little tired of them. People don't necessarily dislike them, but it's a harder sell when everyone has already seen this actor in this movie 50 times before. Neeson may be a veteran actor but he is a new action star; he has actually taken (pun intended) his career in a new direction and it's worked.

I guess I was referring more to a career revitalization in general. I would love to see Costner in a film that does for him what Creed is currently doing for Stallone (or what The Wrestler did for Mickey Rourke. I have always liked Costner because, even when he played impossibly durable action stars, I always felt that his charactesr were nice, likeable, flawed people underneath the action-fireworks bravado and stuntwork.

I wouldn't call CREED a career revitalisation. Yes, he's getting some attention but it's just one film. You'd have to wait for his next few films to determine whether his career has found a new spark. Also, just in terms of box office success, it didn't perform that differently from ROCKY BALBOA, even with a different star, which suggests the Rocky brand is stronger than just him as a name.

Cochofles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The music and the way the trailer's cut makes it look like this will jerk some tears, most likely in regards to Ryan's relationship to Gal and their daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Saw this today. Gary Oldman's entire performance: Tommy Lee Jones' entire performance: + Still not worth it though, because the material just isn't there. There's a fun Bourne-esque prologue and 15 minutes in the middle where Costner is just walking around and being a dick to random people, and at one point he attempts to murder someone with a cactus. But otherwise it's dour. Still not sure why Reynolds and Alice Eve, in particular, were in there. In general this probably has the most absurdly overqualified/wasted cast in recent memory.

Nova Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Saw this last night...I will never understand how a director can have such a talented cast and do so little with them. It's a shame because this movie had the potential to be very great and yet it's all wasted. PS Ryan Reynolds is literally in it for like 10 minutes...so if you were expecting something because you're a fan, don't even bother going. I won't even add this to his list of flops because he's like an extra in the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they relaunch the Waterworld Connected Universe, Costner will get that moment in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 So... anyone else see this? It was alright, but certainly not good enough to recommend. Basically a 5/10 "find on Netflix" movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
