Worst acting for 2007 on a screener

With a f**kin* RETURN envelope, which is only the second time I have gotten one of those!!!

The guy in "Gone Baby, Gone" which is how the title should be spelled, grammatically. That must be Casey Affleck, because no actor this bad would get that part unless his brother made the movie. He is wooded, he cannot recite his lines. He mumbles, he emotes nothing. They would have been better off with the AFLAK duck.

Mucho disagree, he was nominated for a GG as supporting actor in the Jesse James movie this year. * - mr grits 09:48:12 01/19/08 (7)

- How can you disagree when you're not discussing the same performance? - tinear 11:03:52 01/19/08 (6)
  He was lauded by some critics for his GBG role, also, but to me he looked like a kid trying to be tough.
  SPOILER:
  The defining scene in the film where the bar tough insulted him at length and then got pulled down on was a big letdown. Affleck seemed like a coward, a punk with a gat.
  - He was playing.... - afilado 19:25:35 01/19/08 (1)
    a "neighborhood" PI. He wasn't a tough guy. Or a guy with great experience. He was about to get his ass whipped and he knew it. His only way out was to pull the gun. Completely in character.
    
    I think Casey is a better actor than his brother, based on these two performances - GBG and Jesse James.
    - Agree. * - mr grits 07:04:17 01/20/08 (0)

  - my point exactly. And his wimpy voice makes him unbelievable - Duilawyer 16:07:41 01/19/08 (0)
    as a screen tough guy.
  - I praised GBG here as well. He may be better than his bro...... - mr grits 13:02:36 01/19/08 (1)
    Whom most here would giggle and say "so what"? But Casey has talent--he's just weird looking--that's the problem.

    - Exactly, he doesn't look like a PI, at all. His brother infinitely was - tinear 05:21:26 01/20/08 (0)
      better in "Hollywoodland."
      In fact, his was the best performance of the year.
  - "That must be Casey Affleck, because no actor this bad would get that part unless his brother made the movie." - sjb 11:39:13 01/19/08 (0)
    That seems to go beyond the GBG performance.
