Beautiful Performance in Place Beyond the Pines..Despite no1 liked 'AJ'


I saw this movie again, and realized how raw his performance was as AJ. Initially, when viewing the film I was slightly biased and didnt like the character of AJ but the protrayal of him was very beliveable. I dont know how many actors could pull of the thug/young baby brando persona. He has deepness to him that comes out on screen as if he thinks about each nuance or feeling that the character has. You can def tell he took time to think about AJ as a person and research his point of view. I def would put him as a top performer in the film along with Bradley Cooper, Ben Mendelson
