Don't understand the hate this guy get's

He's probably not the greatest actor around right now, but the guy churns out some great films and deliver's some fine acting.

Since 2000

Remember The Titans
The Believer
The Untied States of Leland
Stay (a underrated film imo)
Half Nelson
Lars and The Real Girl
Blue Valentine
Drive
The Ides of March
The Place Among The Pines
Only God Forgives
The Big Short
The Nice Guys
La La Land
Blade Runner 2049
First Man

The Notebook and Crazy Stupid Love, don't do anything for me. And he has the odd dud here and there. But damn in a 19 year film career (not counting his TV work before that). The guy's pretty on point. He has three films on their way to been classics imo (Blade Runner 2049, La La Land and Drive), a few soon to be cult classics (The Nice Guys) and some top indie work. The guy has one of the better C.V's on any actor in his generation. Maybe Leo is the only one to top him for great work constantly.
