Owen Wilson's facial expressions


In so many scenes, Owen Wilson looked to me as if he was going to laugh. I would love to see the out takes from this film. I bet many scenes had to be redone because Owen Wilson laughed.

I totally agree, he did not convince me at all that he was scared for his family.

Even when he's running in the hotel to find his daughter, he sees corpses and hear gunshots but he has a calm face.

Owen, I like you but you really should stick to comedy.

reply

I guess that's just the way his face is. There's a reason why majority of his films are comedy because he's got a face fit for comedies. I mean if you cast Kevin Hart here, never mind that he's african american. I would think that the more serious Kevin Hart's face would be the more funny it would be. Just try imagining Kevin Hart throwing those kids off the roof. But all in all I'm glad Owen does something like this. You know who needs this film? Nicolas Cage, where the hell was he? Somebody needs to fire his agent.

Err Nicolas Cage isn't what he used to be.. I still enjoy some of his cheesy 'classics' like Face Off, The Rock, Con Air but it's been a long time since one of his movie hit the spot.

reply

Maybe you're right. I was kinda hoping he just sucked at choosing projects.

NovakGrey....Nicolas Cage sure is what he used to be with the right script and director...just watch his movie Joe...Nicloas Cage is oscar worthy, totally phenomenal.

I can't believe more people didn't comment on this, personally I couldn't get into this movie because I couldn't take him seriously. He always looks like he's about to laugh!

Exactly!
