He Was a Quiet Man

[Shane]

I dunno if any of you have seen this movie yet. But it is VERY VERY good. Christian Slater gives an absolutely incredible OSCAR worthy performance.

Do yourselves a favor and check it out!

Short Synopsis(however this movie is SOOO much more):

Bob Maconel (Christian Slater) endures another eight
hours in a dull grey cubicle.
Ignored by his co-workers, Bob feels completely
invisible and out of sync
with the world. On one strange day he crosses the
line from potential killer
to inadvertent hero when he saves beautiful Venessa
(Elisha Cuthbert).
His Boss (William H. Macy) transforms Bob into a new
man but his good fortune
is short lived when the Object of his Desire asks him
to end her life.

I copied over from Amazon that way.

I hope you like it. I never thought Christian SLater had it in him to do a role like this. He did!

I love small independent films. This one looks good. Thanks for the suggestion. Just added it to my NetFlix que.

Just watched it. I liked it okay. Slater did a great job, but overall I thought the acting was average at best.

BTW, an appearence by John Gulager from Project Greenlight's "Feast."

I saw the trailer on Apple.com. It looked intriguing. Christian Slater is a very under rated actor.

Just watched it. Fantastic movie. I thought Slater was extremely believable. I got a good chuckle when they were talking about going to Sizzler, I worked there for 3 years.

I need to respond to Pariah's comment in a spoiler.

I think the acting was a little over-the-top and awkward because we were seeing everyone from Bob’s perspective during his fantasy/dream. He felt like everyone was out of control and there was nothing he could do about it. In the end, “sacrificing himself for the betterment of the heard” was his only option.

Interesting theory.

...but I don't buy it.
