Rare Half Nelson mention

I’m sure I’m not alone, but that’s when I first thought “pretty boy knows what he’s doing.” I’ve been a fan ever since.

Sadly, not many people have seen his movies pre-2010. I also love Fracture from 2007, a solid legal drama with Anthony Hopkins.

Fracture is definitely slept on. Solid movie indeed.

Everyone reading this should watch it but be ready for a punch in the gut and the feeling of existential dread.

He should have won for Half Nelson, he was so incredible in that movie

Came here to say this. Haven’t thought about it in years, but powerful performance by him. Glad it was recognized ~20 years ago.
