A movie where he does not scream like a girl?


Has there ever been such a movie? This seems to be a trademark of his, as well as usually playing wimps. Here are his movies that support this.

There Will Be Blood
Little Miss Sunshine
Looper
12 Years a Slave
Cowboys & Aliens

Those are all the movies I have seen him in and there is always a point where he squeals. He plays that part well I might add.

Add Prisoners!

Ahh ,you know what? The 'always playing a wimp' part struck me more.It would be amazing to see him play some really evil or big overbearing type of character.It's something he's not really done before and he's obv. got the chops to carry a movie on his own shoulders.

When they were in the van and he flipped out after they told him he was colorblind and couldn't be a pilot, they pulled over and he ran out of the car crying and screaming. He went back to talking after that.

He wasn't like that in The Girl Next Door.

God has a hard on for marines because we kill everything we see. He plays his game, we play ours.

I feel like all of the characters he's played in those films (and more) were pointless. Every film I've watched that has had him in it, I feel like all he does is scream like a b**ch. And that's what he's there for. That was literally all his character was for in Prisoners.

If I ever become a filmmaker, and I need someone to just scream like the biggest b**ch and whine like a girl, I'll give Dano a call.
