If you like thrillers that is
Meat gets a fair share of the screen time, and for once he's playing a nice guy.
How many of the movies i've mentioned (or how many of Meat's movies in total) have you seen?
I'd say he's done more than 6 films i'd say were "good".
Roadie was deffinatly Meat's moment as a leading man, and although I personally prefere The Blues Brothers (a film released on the same day as Roadie, and a similar concept, a movie with musical guests) I still think Roadie is a good entertaining film.
Titus in The Squeeze was a pretty fun character. The bad guy who is on one hand pretty badass, but at the same time is not very good at being a bad guy.
A bit like Jaws in Moonraker.
Couple of fun facts for those who haven't seen the film, Blind Before I stop is played during one scene, and the female star appeared in the music vid for Getting Away With Murder.
As I said earlier, i'd like to see the other movies you mentioned
That rings a bell for some reason
Was he offered Nicholson's role?
Because I think it would have been a very different performance.
No offence to Meat (i've already said he's great when he brings the crazy) but Jack can do a loony smile like nobody else.
I think Jack was a big factor in the films success, but even if the film was going to be big no matter what, you don't know that just from seeing the script. There are plenty of examples of people giving up the chance to get on board something that turned out massive. Look at the bloke who passed up The Beatles.
Or perhaps Meat just wasn't a fan of the story
