Jeremy Piven's Buddy "Aces" Israel. The scene that got me the most? That close up of him in the bathroom where he looks just so~ so strung out. Like, spikes of beard sticking out of his face, sweaty and greasy, black-and-blue eyes, man. that really impressed me. it was scary, and it felt real, I guess. Oh yeah, he sort of reminds me of Sam Rockwell and Jimmy Fallon (if Jimmy Fallon does this sort of roles).
The Tremors were also a treat (always fun seeing rednecks and neo-nazi punks wreaking bedlam and chaos and havoc), and yeah i loved that little monologue with Jack Dupree's corpse. Surprised me a bit though, since i remember Ben Affleck being quite huge when this came out, and all the sudden he gets killed off, haha. I guess it's unexpected, but awesome cool anyways.
last but not the least, Tommy Flanagan's Lazlo Soot. Tommy's Glasgow smile is just plain creepy, and even more so in the big screen. It makes him look really edgy and charming at the same time, without being funny. Scars like that makes for some huge character onscreen I guess. Good for him though. Wish he gets something like a ridiculously bad good-guy role.

I don't think Fallon could have pulled this off, but Rockwell definitely could have. Either way Piven was outstanding.
