He was oscar nom worthy in this

The movie is in HBO Max.

I agree, he was amazing. I wish he could better movies where he could potentially win an Oscar. He is one of those celebrities that have been around forever and never gets an Oscar.

Definitely his best performance

I hated him before this, but he was really good here. The only other place I liked him was The Thin Red Line but I think he only had a few lines.

Not sure if it's Oscar worthy but a solid performance. Travolta proved that he is an excellent dramatic actor in this movie.

The movie that made me respect him as an actor.

Truly impressive. I've never thought much about him because he's best known for movies like Grease and Saturday Night Fever and those are just not type of movies (not my era). But this movie really makes me view him in a different light.
