I gained OODLES of respect for him after seeing Closer. Damn, he MADE that movie:

Anna: We do everything that people who have sex do!
Larry: Do you enjoy sucking him off?
Anna: Yes!
Larry: You like his cock?
Anna: I love it!
Larry: You like him coming in your face?
Anna: Yes!
Larry: What does it taste like?
Anna: It tastes like you but sweeter!
Larry: That's the spirit. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty. Now fuck off and die, you fucked up slag.

Haven't seen it, but the Croupier is one of my favorite mystery flicks of recent vintage.

Thanks for the recommendation. :thumbsup:

That scene where Jude Law visits him in his office("Have you ever seen a human heart?! It looks like a fist wrapped in blood!)...solid gold.

I've recently seen him in Closer, Sin City and Children of Men: loved him in all three. How is Derailed? The 6.5 score on IMDb seems fairly average.

Derailed was a killer movie, in large part due to Owens performance.

RZA's character could have been cast or acted out better, but it was the only weak performance I saw. Even Xibit kicked ass in that film.

The ending was a bit drawn out and "convenient", but otherwise ok.

Dude, real men don't say "oodles," :p Do you think Clive motherfucking Owen would ever be caught dead saying that word? No.

I think my favorite part of his is Children of Men. He plays it so stoically, but you know there is a raging inferno going on inside him that only rarely breaks through the surface. He really deserves to get an Oscar soon.

Damn, I think I have a man crush on him.

I agree with the general sentiment that both Denzel and Clive Owen are two of the biggest "can't miss" actors out right now. It was a foregone conclusion that any movie with the two of them was going to be riveting for the entire showtime. I agree that the ending let me down a little, but overall it was a great movie.

Watch the departed instead. As far as cop movies go, thats a thousand times better.

IM is a great movie

I can't wait for the next Denzel (and Russell Crowe movie, from director of Gladiator): American Gangster.

Its really not his normal style. 25th Hour and Inside Man broke from what made him famous. If you wanna see Spike Lee, go check out Do The Right Thing.
