...especially from down under, like Proof (with Hugo Weaving) and Romper Stomper. I thought he was something special in LA Confidential and The Insider. The overrated A Beautiful Mind owes what vitality it possesses to his performance. Kevin Costner only wishes he had this kinda talent.

However. Russ the Wuss has a chip on his shoulder the size of New Zealand, and it doesn't look to be getting smaller any time soon. Just ask the BBC producer of the BAFTAs. Crowe's trying his hand at directing next. He has a ton of potential. We'll see if he squanders it on tacky action fare like Proof of Life, or if he's more serious about the work than the star trip. Time will tell.
