Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I'm becoming a huge fan of his, some of my favorite movies of his are, The International, Duplicity and Inside Man. I hope to see more movies from him soon.

Dayum, I wish he were my fan.

Yeah, I thought he was good at being "subtle" in the BBC mini-series Second Sight, and in the really good Gosford Park (2001). That latter part really demanded "subtle." I thought he was subtly effective although historically inaccurate as Sir Walter Raleigh in Elizabeth: the Golden Age. In other words, he's quite good as an English actor in English productions with other English actors. But he hasn't been so lucky in Hollywood. Inside Man worked so hard to be clever that it and the cast just became tiresome. (in fact, I'd totally forgotten it until this thread). The bits and pieces I've seen of King Arthur and especially Sin City, I didn't like.

I liked Clive Owen in,

King Arther
Derailed
Sin City
Children Of Men
Inside Man
Shoot em Up
