  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.

    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.

    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 seems to go beyond the GBG performance.
