Movie/film suggestions.

@immatthewj Actually, I like Jeff Bridges as an actor. From Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, to Against All Odds and on to the present. He was also in that one movie I listed, Bad Times at the El Royale, as a criminal, posing as a priest but having spent way too long in prison, can't quite remember which room he stowed his stolen loot from an old bank robbery. Chris Hemsworth has an especially delicious role as a mudering, sadistic cult leader. 

I liked The Ides of March with Ryan Gosling lost in the fog of a primary war and George Clooney going against type as a sleazy, calculating candidate that he works for. I also liked The Counselor and especially, the back and forth over the phone between the cartel leader played by Ruben Blades and Michael Fassbinder as Ruben intellectually schools Michael in the world he wrongly stepped into. That was some might fine and chilling dialogue. 

All the best,

As I typed, @nonoise , I was thinking I would be the odd man out on that one.  Thunderbolt is one of my least favorite movies he (Jeff Bridges) was in, but you know what they say:  "It's a good thing we all don't like chocolate ice cream."  Or something like that.  And I remember when it came out, Thunderbolt tha is, it was very popular in Montana, as was Rancho.

And I completely agree with you about The Counselor.

. . . and I meant to say, @nonoise , is that I particularly liked the part and the dialogue for the role that Brad Pitt played.  And I thought that he (Pitt) carried it off nicely.  Better than nicely.  (McCarthy wrote some great dialogue in book, No Country, also, and in the film they followed the dialogue of the book very closely.  

@immatthewj Agreed. Along with Snatch, Brad Pitt shows just how good an actor he can be given the right role. He was really good in Killing Them Softly (as a hitman sent to clean things up).

All the best,
