everyone was playing a white trash role and doing it well.
No question. And I'll even go for Wahlberg. And Adams.
One of the things that makes a really quality movie to me is losing myself in it. By that, I mean that I don't doubt - even for a millisecond - that these characters exist, that I'm not watching actors doing roles. I'm not saying that I want movies to be documentaries, but that the acting just disappears. The actors become their characters, and you are transported into their world. To me, that's a good movie.
Here's a quick counter-example off the top of my head - Iron Man. Now, don't get me wrong, that is a fun flick! I love it. But I know the entire time that that is Robert Downey, Jr.; y'know what I mean? He's not even acting - it's just him, placed in these situations. Kind of like Sam Rockwell in IM2, and almost every other role I've ever seen him in (except Moon). I don't lose myself in the picture.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
