Quite a medicore year, I have to admit. I've seen all of them and although none of them was really bad (except Rush), there wasn't an exceptionally good performance either.

1.Duvall
2.Coburn
3.Thorton
4.Harris
5.Rush

Duvall was good, Harris was dull and lifeless, Thorton and Coburn were average, Rush was just plain odd.

I feel it is quite strong,would have preferred rush to make it for elizabeth and maybe woulda liked to see jason patric and dylan baker here,my vote is for harris whom i think creates sucha strange but wonderful character,duvall overplays for me,thornton is quite heartbreaking and coburn good with a ltd cliched part.

I don't want to sound rude, but I have made it so I follow your blog, so you don't have to announce here every time you make a new post.

I haven't seen Duvall but I'm sure he's good. The others are all okay, I don't have clear favorite.

1.Coburn- simply astonishing performance. His alcoholic abusive father is one of the best performances this category ever seen IMO.
2.Billy Bob Thornton- Very close second, fantastic performance in a fantastic movie.
3.Geoffrey Rush- Again amazing movie and great comic performance.
4.Ed Harris- Never understood appeal over this performance, movie is great but Jim Carey deserves much more credit for it.
5. Robert Duvall- I remember nothing about this movie.
