ambivalent. Yes, Olivier's performance is "life-like" but where does that become wooden, mannikin-like?
I've never seen the Crossing Guard, not especially appreciating Penn's work in the next film with Nicholson (The Promise?) but since you're enthusiastic...

I wouldn't characterize it as wooden at all, just effectively understated.
If you doubt his abilities, see the Dardennes' La promesse .
The Crossing Guard is a better movie than The Pledge. - sjb 11:34:09 07/11/06 (0)
It's worth seeing just for David Morse's performance.
