It's such a slow and thoughtful film that I don't know if I imagine myself seeing it again, but it's also the type of film I'm glad got made and wish they'd make more of. I think it just proves how smart Schwarzenegger is, to have absorbed the techniques he's seen other actors display over the years, and not just skate by on his fame and his biceps. I'd have to see it again to know if it was his best, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. It's his least demonstrative, at least since he graduated from the stage of being purposefully minimal to disguise his limited skills, and I think that in itself is saying something.

And you give all the reasons why. <br /><br />Love your discussion and breakdown of the scene between Duke and Weathers. I never looked at it from that angle so I really appreciate it.<br /><br />Since the main idea of this post is Arnie's improvement as an actor, I'm curious if you have seen Maggie. For me, it's the best acting I've seen from him. I would love your thoughts on that.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.com
