Interesting, I haven't seen any the movies you cited as examples of Brad Pitt's short comings. Maybe I am just missing the worst he has to offer. I think between Seven, True Romance ( all be it a small role), Legends of the fall, and The Mexican just to name some of his movies, one can find both a substantial range in his characters and substantial depth in those characters. I did see Troy and I did not like the movie or him in it. I'm not sure there was much he could have done to remedy that. The script was simply devoid of any humanity. He fought well. I think this was his focus and the focus of trhe film makers. To bad though. Jackie Chan already is light years ahead of them.

It's too bad about Costner. He showed potential early in his career. His self absorbtion is all too painfully evident in everything he has done since No Way Out.

Tom Cruise. I think his celebraty status often makes people overlook his achievements. He has been quite good a number of times. Risky Business, Taps, Rainman, Born on the fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, The color of Money.
