Genius acting!

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2006)

What can I say that has not been already said about the talent that is Philip Seymour Hoffman?
This guy can act the socks off anyone around the film world today, he is calm, imminently watchable and totally mesmeric.
The voice that everyone has spoken of does not bother me at all, if anyone had heard what the real Truman Capote sounded like, you would clearly see that Mr Hoffman has toned it down considerably, the real mans voice was hysterical.
I just loved Hoffman, descend into self pity waiting for the killer to die so that he could publish his book, even though the central character is completely unlikeable, Hoffman;s performance is what keeps you caring and keeps you watching.
I would call this a modern classic.
