Michael Shannon is absolutely amazing!


I dare to say that he's a talent hollywood is missing! He's amazing in Revolutionary Road, and then this! Deserves a pile of awards if you ask me... Do you agree?

He was hilarious. It seemed like he was ad-libbing almost some of the scenes, like when he kisses Cherie's boot and makes a comment. LOL

I think he's on his way to an Oscar and when he wins he'll more than deserve it as he a superb actor.

Yeah, Michael is consistently fantastic. He reminds me of a more-eccentric Gary Oldman, in terms of his transformative approach to acting. This role in particular is especially impressive. I had never seen the real Kim Fowley until this movie came out. I looked up interviews with him on youtube, and Michael totally nailed his "essence," IMO.
