A word about John Doe

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2007)

The most absurd objection against Seven that I have ever read is the one claiming that Spacey's too nice guy persona was not credible as a fierce murderer.Well,this may be so for someone whose first Spacey movies were K-PAX or Pay It Forward or The Shipping News ;but I first saw Spacey in the astonishing noir pastiche L.A. Confidential and then in the drama The Big Kahuna .We are talking about the actor from L.A. Confidential (1997), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), The Usual Suspects (1995),etc.,that is,an endless gallery of villains.And not only a competent bad guy,but an authentic tough guy alsoa violent tough guy.The opposite of a dolt or a sissy;very tough,very strong,one of the toughest guys on screen.His only convincing and interesting role as a good-natured character is the one in K-Pax.
In my opinion,Spacey's best roles known to me are those from American Beauty, L.A. Confidential, The Usual Suspects, Se7en, The Big Kahuna and K-PAX.
