So can we talk about how incredible Luke Evans was in this?


He KILLED it! He was so damn good as Richard Wilder i was just stunned. It was almost SCARY to see Luke take on such a role with full force and unhinged vigor. Very good job. He simply dominated every scene he was in.

He just imitated Jack Nicholson in The Shining. He looked like him, he acted like him, only thing missing was the axe!

Interesting comparison! I can see that, however Luke talked about Oliver Reed being a large inspiration.

with how many reviews mention and rave about Luke's performance, I'm surprised more people aren't talking about him on these message boards. I've been a fan of Luke for a few years since he stepped into the film industry and I have got to say, his performance in this put the rest of his work to shame! I knew he had it in him! holy *beep* It was CREEPY to see him get so into character..
