I still think this is a great movie tho oldman ruins it with his over the top acting and fake acccent , I think Christopher walken woulda been a much better choice

Nuclear dog shit take. Yikes. Gary Oldman portrayed one of the best villains of all time.

That’s what I think!! This and True Romance (1993) are my favorites of his villainous roles.

It’s a hilariously bad take 🤣

Sincerely hope the guy’s trolling. People in this thread are actually dumping on Oldman as an actor 🤣🤣

This is the most off kilter post i've ever read. It's like saying Alan Rickman was miscast in Die Hard. Oldman is the best thing about this movie.

I can understand how some might feel that Gary Oldman's character was too over the top but I think most people accepted it as a stylistic choice that fit the offbeat European style of the film.

not sure if this was serious because Oldman was so good!

OLDMAN ALMOST STEALS THE FLICK FROM RENO...ALMOST...THEY ARE BOTH GREAT.

Totally disagree. This was a really good flick. IMO it was perfectly cast.

Who could have played him better? Maybe Jack Nicholson.
