See, I've always been #teamBradPitt. He's done some great work, Thelma and Louise, Kalifornia, 12 Monkeys, Se7en, Snatch, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood... he's far from mediocre. And way more than a pretty boi who got where he is based on looks. He is 'incredible' but he's very solid at what he does. Oh, that Coen Brothers one, he was the best thing about it, as the personal trainer.
LOVE that film, he's soooooo good!
You have Hellion as an avatar, so I'll let this one slide... but Nicole Kidman is NOT a mediocre actress, she's fantastic and you should be ashamed for ever sullying her name!
Agreed. He's not a great dramatic actor, but his comic ability is brilliant.
I don't think he's mediocre. He can't do a huge range, but that style of dumb comedy he's ALWAYS been very good at, and Deadpool is the perfection of it. It's his Erin Brockovich moment!

He is a good dramatic actor (never said he wasn't), but he's not a GREAT one. The most extreme moments of the Truman Show (and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) he falls short, there's still a level he can't reach. It becomes far less clever and layered and nuanced. It's the difference between Jonah Hill being a GOOD comedic actor and Rowan Atkinson being a GREAT comedic actor. It's just a different level of brilliance and perfection, that isn't reached.

Well, that's sort of a tough one.
I feel like there are a few instances of it just being overplayed. That gas station scene is the one time where the "By The Way, This Is A Hick..." aspect of Early gets dialed back as far as it should have been.
