The safe bet
Thursday, October 9th, 2003 (5 years, 1 month ago)
I can always count on two actors to choose to act in movies that I like: Kevin Spacey and Denzel Washington. I was skeptical about the last two movies I saw them in (Out of Time and The Life of David Gale), but they both turned out to be very enjoyable movies. Those are two actors who don’t dissapoint.
Two actors who used to be safe bets for me where Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. But Samuel L. Jackson has been doing some weird stuff lately (XXX, Star Wars, Formula 51). And Bruce Willis doesn’t seem to be picking the kinds of scripts he used to choose to act in either.
But any movie with a combination of these four actors is a movie you can’t miss: Die Hard 3, The Negotiator, The Siege, etc.
“Safe bet actors” are good for when you’re in a rental store and you’re wondering what to watch. Otherwise you just look foolish for standing in Blockbuster for thirty minutes. And even more foolish when you eventually walk out with nothing in your hands and you have to try to play it off with the cashier which you HAVE to walk by to leave…
