I've tried liking the man with one eyebrow, but since that movie in 2008, I can't muster it up. The industry is trying so damn hard to make him into an action hero, I don't know if he can do other things or not. "In Bruges" stands out, IMO, as his best/only decent work.
He was OK in "The Recruit" with Pacino, but as usual, Big Al stole the show. Farrell's biggest presence there was as an eternal brooder.
