Bored?!

[The Lu¢kiest Jinx]

I just read a sad and rude article today about Nick of Time, criticizing Johnny's acting! The article said near the bottom...

...but Depp, known for his avant-garde taste in roles, is very visibly bored with this blatant bid for mainstream action stardom. He is so passive, sluggish, and obviously distracted you just want to give him a shot of adrenaline. Come to think of it, director Badham (who made the underrated La Femme Nikita remake Point of No Return) and screenwriter Patrick Sheane Duncan could have used one too...


Personally I think Johnny did a great job presenting the character of Gene. I mean, an accountant isn't going to be an acrobatic cheerleading circus clown, is he? The guy [gene] WAS NERVOUS! I mean come on, what would you do in that situation? I would be nervous and "sluggish" because I didn't WANT to do the dirty task.

Whatever. I think knowing that actually MADE the character more believable... How about you guys?

[*Johnny's trouble*]

I so totally agree with you Jinx! Johnny portrayed a 'normal' person in a not so normal situation...and he did an awesome job of showing his fear. What did they expect? I mean accountants don't usually go running around hotels carrying guns to kill people...if they want something like that, they should look into OUATIM...I absolutely loved this movie and see not once flaw in his acting

These critics obviously do not know what they're talking about! Johnny did a great job!

Have you ever read a review that was overall positive? Critics are always negative about movies..

Sure i have, but of course the good ones dont get to us, cuase heck, we already KNOW it was awesome! the bad ones are the ones that you wanna kill them for!

I just wattched this like 20 minutes ago, and he most certainly was not boring or bored. I thought he was very engaging and interesting.

They don't know what they're talking about.

Johnny Depp NEVER has a bad performance
