He seemed so "phone it in" on many of those films IMHO. That is whenever he just wasn't completely over his head & came off as some 2D caricature on the material. That's why I was always wondering why he was still getting roles when he did so poorly on those IMHO.
I admit as to only seeing half those films since the ones I saw were so poor (poor = Raising Arizona). So, I had no compulsion to subject myself through any more.
as always YMMV

But some of the roles he's playing are "2d" caricature characters.... - Mrs. Piggy 17:03:23 08/10/02 (5)
See Vampires Kiss, or Birdy, or bringing out the dead, then we'll talk.
Vampires Kiss is about a man who is severely physchologicaly disturbed--he thinks he is a vampire--he seeks treatment, but his life spirals out of control--a real sleeper hit.
Also Raising Arizona is a classic! His acting was tailor made for that role wether you like the style or content of that comedy or not.
But I agree he is horrible in action adventure movies--not believable.
Come on dude, didn't you see Leaving Las Vegas--that was 2d!!???
That show had such an impact on my brother, he couldn't even talk about it for months, it triggered a minor depression.
And bringing out the dead-wow, what a film, what a powerful message.

  but "Raising Arizona" & "Leaving Los Vegas" were indeed pathetic wastes of time. Talk about "2D caricatures"!!! One would have to be heavy meds to sit through them IME. Although, "Leaving Los Vegas" was hillarious. However, I suspect it was unintended like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". I felt bad for Nic having to endure that embarrassment.

        You seem to admire the his films I find tragically shallow of depth & ludicrously predictable & gratefully forgettable. As always YMMV ...
