Just seeing Ledger act is enough but it's a great scene in terms of the way it so suddenly pulls the rug out from under you as the Joker's switches from his philosophy to his intention.

Costner - 4(I will say that though this is ...Luke:<br /><br />Costner - 4(I will say that though this is one of Costner's best performances, I can't help but feel someone like say Viggo Mortensen, yeah he's always my alternate choice, could have taken the role even further. Costner though does take it pretty far though succeeding in providing the needed intensity that he properly attaches to an innate darkness and hate within the man. His chemistry with Duvall and Bening both work wonders though with Duvall creating that distinct contrast as well as camaraderie, and with Bening creating actually quite the affecting rather mostly unsaid romance.) <br /><br />Bening - 4.5(One of my favorite performances of her's actually. Bening brings such a natural warmth and grace that provides such an effective comforting factor throughout the film. She beautifully plays the part and very much like Duvall she excels so much with the unsaid. The moments with Costner leading up the fight I actually found more poignant before they actually declare their love due to how well Bening provided such a powerful yet understated connection throughout their scenes together.)<br /><br />Luna - 2.5(Luna's goes a bit broad at times. Overall I thought he was not too distracting and provided what was needed for his character. <br /><br />Gambon - 2(Cuts a pretty big slab of ham here, he even overacts when getting shot just a bit too much, and throughout is one of the weakest aspects of the film.)<br /><br />Girard - 3(He goes a bit too overt for much of the film giving more of a caricature of the intellectual than creating an actual person whom we can empathize with. He doesn't work though really on the other end as someone who is engaging in his insufferable nature either. He has some good moments in there though when he pulls back a bit such as when he loses his classroom or just a few other minor reactionary moments.)<br /><br />Rousseau - 2.5(He's okay for the most part but doesn't really make a distinct statement with the character. I felt the father son relationship was particularly lacking as there was not a real sense of history either in a connection or through estrangement. He's never bad to be sure, but he seems mostly there to move the few plot elements around. Comparing him to say Daniel Bruhl from 03 in a somewhat similair performance he falls quite short.)<br /><br />Croze - 3(Yeah not quite sure what Cannes's was doing in 03, then again I don't exactly love the other films in competition that I have seen either. Croze's performance here though is a bit of an odd one in that she basically hits the emotional notes you'd expect from her heroine addict yet there always seems something missing. Croze never quite overcomes the fact that her character almost feels arbitrary for some attempt at a substance that the film never quite earns.) <br /><br />Tahmeed:<br /><br />1.
