If he really believed he was ahead in that hand, why'd he move all in? To get him to fold the lesser hand? That doesn't make sense. Going all-in only makes sense when you want your opponent to call with the second best hand, or to get your opponent to fold a better hand. If he was so convinced that his opponent held air, why not show it down or make a value bet? Why risk it all with three to a straight on the board?
Teddy KGB (Malkovich) was sure he was doing very well in that card game against Mike (Damon). In the end he is outsmarted by the younger player, and Grandma (Rispoli) is fun to watch as he sees he cannot touch our hero.
Gary Oldman : from his light and friendly voice in "The Dark Knight" to the incredible dark and unrecognizable evil voice as a pimp in " True Romance" to his so creepy and scary voice in "Hannibal" ( many people did not realize Gary Oldman was in that movie before they saw the credits) = ACTING
@vesperlovett Because Gary Oldman is the very definition of an amazing and great actor. We never see Gary Oldman in a Gary Oldman movie , we see a beliavable character. He completely dissapears in every role he is in. Just saying too!
When I watch a movie ; I like to think "That is the character speaking" not " that is the actor speaking." When I see a John Malkovich movie I just can't imagine that is a different person/character. I just always see John Malkovich talking and not the character.
i don't buy that he's russian, his russian accent sucks and 1:22 t o1:24 he's body language was an obvious unnatural gesture. and his costume? really? well maybe that's the closest thing he'll get to being a russian. it would have been WAY better if they had gotten a real russian immigrant to play the part and not to mention a lot cheaper.
i'll say it again john malkovich isn't a great actor. you can always tell he's acting. a great actor moves you brings you in the moment and makes you believe.
for example when great actors do a cameo will get this people thinking "is that him?" or" was that him?" but poor but famous actors will get reactions like "hey it's him".
example of great minor role actors sasha baron cohen(sweeny todd), djimon hounsou one of my favorite supporting actors.
john malkovich is a second rate actor. sasha cohen can act, he convinces the audience in some movies you wouldn't know it was him. being able to mask himself as a totally different person.
like sharlto coopley the guy from district 9 and his switch to capt. murdock in the a-team was amazing. the movie district 9 wasn't that good, but he can act.
people think john malkovich can act because of a single baseline performance, in all the film's of his how many was good????? 3 at most
Comparing John Malkovich to Sasha Baren Cohen??? You aren't actually serious, are you? That's not even an accurate comparison. You lose all credibility here.
actually i am. he is actually really good. his transition from one personality to another is so convincing that if you wouldn't know it was him who was playing it till after a while.
with john malkovich, you see him in a film and you know the very first second you see him that it was him.
you do know that he was also Ali. G right? and the other barber from sweeny todd.
Yes, I do know that. Who the hell doesn't? What the hell does that have to do with Malkovich? This was a comedic role and overall Malkovich is much closer to a serious actor than a comedic one. Comparing the two is like comparing Jim Carry to Russel Crowe. It makes no sense. And what the hell does recognizing who he is have anything to do with his acting ability? Frankly I can't make any sense of your comments.
it's simple i don't buy john malkovich's acting. you always know he's acting, and his previous roles as antagonists really don't convince me. he never try's to buff up, slim down, or go fat for a role. he's all about the costume. his mono tone voice is easily distinguishable and he can't even pull an accent. his voice is much of the same in every movie. fact of the matter is, he is not any better than any actor out there.
his best performance is "being john malkovich" LOL.
And yet you're comparing him to someone who's ALWAYS over the top and being comedic to the point of being obvious in everything he does? Don't get me wrong, he's funny, but comparing who's "more believable?" I really can't believe you're making that comparison and being serious about it.
it's his complete change from one personality to another that is amazing.
masking yourself to two different people and being able to convince the audience is an art that only a few are capable.
john malkovich's acting is obvious, and most people are basing him as a "class" actor from a single baseline performance "dangerous liaisons" and he's been bringing the same plate to almost every character to the table ever since.
@Donpaeng I totally agree with you. Acting is convincing the audience you are someone else. Which in my book means that the actor should act different and change his voice a little for every movie he is in. John Malkovich is just another line reader. He is the type of guy that just reads his line in the same tone of voice in every movie he is in. And that for me is not acting. That is just reading lines , anyone can do that.
compare mat damon's acting in this clip towards john malkovich. he's more convincing and natural doesn't over ACT the part.
john malkovich would do a lot better in a h.s. play. where there are no cameras focused on you and you have to over ACT the part to sell it to the audience.
@Donpaeng I haven't seen this movie but Malkovich plays this role in kind of a comedic way. It doesn't seem like he was trying to make it realistic. Watch In the Line of Fire or Dangerous Liaisons if you want to see his best acting.
he was absolutely terrific in Dangerous Liasons...one of my favorite movies of all times, with extraordinary dialogue and unforgetable 'one-liners' that have stayed with me ever since watching the movie...i.e. "I have no illusions, I lost them on my travels..."
Malkovich's character / lines in this movie spawned basically an entire friendship for me lmao.
As odd as that sounds... Not entirely true, I was friends already but after this we literally quoted these lines for years and our humour evolved from this.
Remember how he does that thing?You know,how he talk's very calmly and then get's all pissed off and ends his sentences with Good Day,SIR!That both scares me and makes me laugh.
John Malcovich as an actor is perfection to me. Such a great actor, man and he has never won an oscar not even a golden globe, for god's sake, what a shame!!!
Have you ever seen Man in the Iron Mask? If not, don't, that movie will forever be a blemish on John Malkovich's stellar acting career. If you have and you have gotten past the horrible acting and dialogue, I salute you.
