So why did I get the smiley?

Because a 6.1 rating on IMDB has nothing to do with the level of Cillian's performance. :roll:

It can. The rating implies the film's overall quality, so while it's of course possible to have an amazing performance in it, it's unlikely.

...Right. Regardless, a ton of great actors really need to pick better roles.

Cillian's role in Peacock was the best role he has ever taken. Stop making assumptions because I am sure you have not seen the film.

Dude, regardless of how good or bad he is, it's a random movie with no marketing or buzz around it, two reviews on RT, and a crazy low rating on RT. I mean bigger, better roles in films with a great creative team that'll be remembered and loved.

I just mean there are loads of actors out there I love very much who seem to not be particularly concerned with having a 'good' career.

WOW... Cillian has been in loads of great and remembered films... for me anyway. You do not make any sense sometimes.

You can't have 'great and remembered' films 'for you' that doesn't make sense. He's lovely in BB/Inception/28 Days Later/Sunshine but outside of those he hasn't seemed to make too many great decisions. I guess we'll see with In Time. I just think of actors of his caliber, and think I'll see a string of amazing performances in great movies, and that's not what I see with him.

IMHO, I don't think Cillian Murphy has had a bad performance yet. He's pure gold in every frakking movie - and that's insane. :clap:
