Loved his performance in "The Insider"...but Crowe has to harness all of that negative, thug energy he has in real life and divert it towards his craft, then maybe he has a shot...but in real life, he is too angry about something that still he still has to resolve. Dont know what it is...but he better do it fast.What's that word...oh yeah...Maturity. He hasn't got it yet. He may not ever get it. He seems to think being rude, is cooooooool. Maybe in the outback on a Saturday night he's cool...but all of the Armani tuxedo's in the world, won't help him attain it in The Real World.
He needs to get the stuffing kicked out of him...either psychically or physically. Perhaps some prolonged unemployment would cure that.
Until he "gets it"...all of the good parts that he gets will be for nothing. He will be stuck with the reputation of being a Big Bore and A Pain In The Neck, and that will eclipse ALL of the talent he has as an actor. It wont matter how good he is. Whatever that is.
What a waste, huh ?
