The buzz is growing. Can't you feel it? The studio has even moved the release date up!Clooney. Hmmm....Clooney. It's hard to comment on Clooney as an actor as he isn't really an actor at all.
He's the quitessential Hollywood personality who is popular with his audience on his personality alone rather than any character he creates through craft. In fact, it would appear he has no real craft at all. He's just the cocksure hollywood hunk who confidently saunters through any situation with the exact same demeanor, voice, manner and air. If it fits the role its little more than happy coincidence. Ironically a movie like Oceans 11 showcases all that he is best and worst at simultaneously - and it's precisely the kind of role he is perfect for. Anything more? I don't think he has it in him.
Follow Ups:
you didn't like him is The Peacemaker and From Dusk Til Dawn?Clooney classics, for sure.
Clooney is such an easy target I feel almost ashamed throwing any dirt at him. He is like an innocent child who has not stuck his hand into anyone's pocket yet.But here is the question: who in the world cinema would you consider his closest international analog?
Alain Delon, perhaps?
