I think he's been about some vague, titilating promise that never materialized.Many cite his performance in Apocalipse Now... well, the film was extremely weak, horrible and boring white elephant, except for a bried Duval's performance, and Brando there was basically a tremendous non-actor, with his wispers and nothing more. Truth is, he was shot that way because he acted so ridiculously the director just couldn't show more of him.
He did make a couple of interesting films. The Chase was easily his most American role, and the Godfather is something to remember too. But I never felt touched by the Waterfront.
