A few Days ago we had a great thread about Robert Duval. I believe we all pretty much agreed that he is a very gifted actor. His roles in Open Range, Phenomenon, A Night in Mexico and of course his best so far as Gus in Lonesome Dove.
But we watched a Neflex movie last night that I'd never heard of called The Judge. After seeing that I can say with complete confidence that he may well be the best dramatic actor in the business. His performance in this movie is right up there with Gus but his character here is not so loveable so it falls a little short but still very powerful portrayal. Robert Downey Jr. (whom I normally despise) also turned in a terrific performance. Billy Bob Thornton and the rest of the supporting cast were absolutely great.
Y'all gittche a box of kleenex and check that one out.
