But given this year's films, you might be right, with arguably only SHUTTER ISLAND'S cast giving him any competition in this respect.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-11964307513168049852010-07-31T18:34:25.675-04:002010-07-31T18:34:25.675-04:00I completely agree with your praise for Hawkes.

The film is so good (especially in this weak year) that it's easy to overlook his role. He makes what looks to be a kind of stick-figure villain into a flawed human. Compelling stuff.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-53555374591124696042010-07-30T14:10:31.998-04:002010-07-30T14:10:31.998-04:00Re: Missouri, Adam... any dope who says that is sp...Re: Missouri, Adam... any dope who says that is speaking out of pure ignorance. Haven't been there myself, but every state has its unusual territories and its more recognizable ones.<br /><br />Nice to see Sheryl Lee, huh? And I'm really glad she hasn't gone down the botox route, which unfortunately may be affecting her ability to get more roles. I hope not. She is still quite sexy.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-12091038304007705272010-07-29T22:48:53.323-04:002010-07-29T22:48:53.323-04:00Forgot to mention that I didn't recognize Sher...Forgot to mention that I didn't recognize Sheryl Lee, either.

So when he appears in this film with that raspy voice and the gray hair, gray mustache, etc., I kept trying to figure out who he was.<br /><br />It's a great film, by the way, and one of the year's biggest surprises. I'm only ashamed that, as a Missourian, I didn't even know about its production here. I also was kind of astonished by the movie's portrayal of Missouri and am already hearing comments from people who say the film has made them never want to visit this state. Personally, I had no idea there were areas of Missouri like this. Maybe that's because it's filmed in the small towns and counties down near Springfield.Adam Zanziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524618281515322239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-24500927152665696462010-07-29T11:07:49.828-04:002010-07-29T11:07:49.828-04:00Yeah, he's great with what little he gets (a r...Yeah, he's great with what little he gets (a reason I skipped over mentioning that) in THE PERFECT STORM.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by SFF.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-29047391696753236402010-07-28T20:48:56.320-04:002010-07-28T20:48:56.320-04:00What a pleasure to find someone appreciate the wor...What a pleasure to find someone appreciate the work of John Hawkes. I couldn't agree with you more. He is sorely underappreciated in the world of cinema. He was a standout for me in the Deadwood series. He was a joy to watch. <br /><br />It's funny you write about him as I just finished viewing The Perfect Storm and Hawkes was a real highlight in a film where characters really weren't given a great deal of time to develop. The overrated George Clooney, though I'm told he's come a long way, is one of the real acting lowlights in the piece.<br /><br />Hawkes is a treasure that I hope gets his due someday. In the meantime, thank you for all of the recommendations concerning this fine actor. I look forward to seeing his work that I missed. I have my Millennium box set ready to go.
