A Surprise New A List Actor
Christian Bale is a rising star, did an excellent performance, and I couldn't leave that unsaid. But the surprise to me (besides the movie being excellent overall - including Werner Herzog's direction) was Steve Zahn. Like the SNL comic Tom Hanks surprised us, like Steve Carell (played Brick in Anchorman and The 40-Year Old Virgin) surprised us, like Jamie Fox amazed me, Will Smith, and other light, comic supporting actors have surprised us with their breakout awesome, amazing talent, I was pleasantly amazed that the star from such movies as Super Troopers and Saving Silverman (I think) did an ABSOOLUTELY AMAZING BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE. If anyone who knows Steve sees this, please pass on to him.
Steve Zahn was goose-bump, make-a-grown-man-shed-a-tear, amazing in this. I did not take him seriously as an actor. But he is now a star. EXCELLENT, AMAZING. SOMEONE PLEASE NOMINATE HIM FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR. See this movie.
