He's good, but I think Marc Warren's version was superb. I also kept thinking of Kelly Macdonald while watching the remake. Those 2 actors of course had much more to work since the original was almost 6 hours, and dealt with the vastly more psychotic oil industry.
shareI LOVED HIM IN THIS ONE! Especially when he's confessing on tape and crying. Such an intresting charecter to play and he did it just fine!
shareI thought he was funny (no pun intended). Just saw it for the first time yesterday.

I totally agree! Jason has really impressed me in the recent years! Glad his career had a come back and didn't end with Silver Spoons!
shareas soon as i saw his face i was like yep that's jason bateman. i loved him in this movie he's definetly a badass ;)
shareUsually that "reluctant informant" type of character in the suspense thriller gets found in the river the next morning, so I was glad they didn't go that route with him.
shareYes, and he didn't have the luxury of the greater time allowed by the minsieries to develop the Dominic Foy character. However in those few minutes JB was given he made a really effective impression as a sleaze whose only interest was himself.
sharecompletely stole the show, I didn't think much of the movie but the scenes with bateman were brilliant, was like he was in a different, much better, movie than everyone else
