indie flix as he is in historical epics
I have a warrant in my pocket that says
different
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for Colin
Farrell’s top 10 performances number 10
James Douglas Clayton the recruit so
you’re a recruiter that I am though the
spy thriller endured mixed reviews one
of its few redeeming qualities is
Farrell’s ability to go head-to-head
with a Hollywood heavyweight what I have
to kill anyone
would you like to Farrell’s Clayton is
recruited to the CIA by Al Pacino’s
Walter Burke and what follows is a game
of cat and mouse that’s filled with
betrayal and deception I don’t work for
the CIA I think you do whether it’s a
physical or psychological test Farrell
proves he’s up to the challenge yo
here’s another option shoot me go ahead
number 9
Tommy sweet Crazy Heart while displaying
his abilities as a character actor
Ferrell also demonstrates his talent as
a supporting player by propping up Jeff
Bridges Oscar winning effort gave me my
start bed I think I don’t remember that
but I got a lot to the Irishman’s
performance is a departure from his
other work that shows he’s willing to
give up the spotlight when it matters
and that’s what makes it such a surprise
Ferrell manages to surprise us again
when he takes the mic and can actually
sing this
for the Wii number eight Syracuse Ondine
it’s a pleasant change of pace to see
feral tone things down and his efforts
in this adult fairy tale earned him an
Irish Film & Television Award he submits
a moving portrayal of a sad fisherman
with a sick daughter whose gloomy
reality changes when he finds a woman in
his net you go to Yalta a little while
on Dean’s mysterious arrival brings
fantasy and hope to their lives
it’s Farrell’s passion and quest for
redemption that touch us most how long
you stay depends I guess on what on you
on me it depends on me
you can save whatever number seven Bobby
pellet Horrible Bosses to play one of
the Horrible Bosses Ferrell transforms
into a pot-bellied balding tool with a
bad coke and hookers Abbott oh yeah we
got to trim some of the fat around here
trim what do you mean by trim the fat I
want you to fire the fat people what
they’re lazy and they’re slow and they
make me sad to look at it may be brief
but his role as part of this critically
praised ensemble cast sure is memorable
the actor loses himself completely in
the world of the self-important Bobby
pellet barrels rarely seen comedic
talents also help the film become one of
the highest-grossing black comedies ever
I’m sneezing dust bunnies is that that
B’s I’m a pharmacist not a doctor is
that my brain number six
Danny Witwer Minority Report though Tom
Cruise is the star barrel more than
holds his own in this Steven Spielberg
sci-fi flick someone intends to kill his
boss or his wife but they never go
through with it how do the precogs tell
the difference praecox let’s see what
you intended
although where you will do as the smug
Department of Justice agent who
initiates the manhunt for Cruz’s captain
John Anderton Farrell brings depth to an
otherwise small but significant role
daddies in a lot of trouble sure thanks
to its critical acclaim and millions in
box office receipts Minority Report is
also one of Farrell’s most commercially
successful projects commits some murder
in exactly the same way technician takes
a look
thinks he’s looking at an echo erase is
it number five Stu Shepard phone booth
you call me Stu I feel Stu I don’t
notice though
why do you perverse you it look a lot of
people in this neighborhood know why I’m
Stuart Shepard 1326 West 51st Street
third floor front go my some other got
that while we might initially think that
despicable two-timing Stu is getting
what he deserves
Farrell manages to convince us otherwise
as the film’s plot unravels come on
Stuart don’t disappoint me use your
imagination you’d shoot me if you got
the chance wouldn’t you a big smile on
my face haha there’s the spirit held
hostage in a phone booth by an unknown
sniper barrel has to carry the film
pretty much on his own somehow he ends
up making us feel for his character and
gives us a gripping and intense thriller
in the process number four
Bobby Morrow a home at the end of the
world in this drama Farrell goes against
type with a soulful roll that puts him
in the middle of an unconventional love
triangle do you think I’m attractive oh
yeah that’s what I thought you were
gonna ask and yes I absolutely I do
adapted from the Michael Cunningham
novel a home at the end of the world
reveals a softer side of Farrell that
gives credence to his versatility as an
actor
as the emotionally complex Bobby Mauro
he truly helps bring this story of love
and friendship to life you should go
back to Claire man don’t leave you want
number three private Roland Bozz
Tigerland it may be a small war drama
but Tigerland makes a big impact thanks
to its actors incredible performances
you are pissing your life away I don’t
need an army and I don’t need the war to
tell me that sir much credit should be
given to Ferrell who brings such
humanity to his character that the role
essentially launched his career while
proving himself a compassionate and a
Pleader
Ferrell also develops realistic and
complex relationships with his fellow
soldiers that keep us highly engrossed
in the tale what else is gonna do send
us Vietnam wait for that shit number two
Captain John Smith the new world despite
disappointing box office returns it’s
hard to deny that Terrence Malick’s
historical vision of the Jamestown
Settlement is one visually spectacular
film at the heart of the story as
Pocahontas who develops a romance with
the rugged John Smith eyes i Ferrell
portrays Smith with strength power and
emotion in short everything that the
captain should and needs to be and she
not fed us you would have starved
she’s been an instrument preserve this
called me from his after number one ray
in Bruges if I grown up on a farm and
was retarded Bruges might impress me but
I didn’t so it wasn’t much of this black
comedies praise is heaped onto its cast
and for good reason as a pair of Irish
hitmen in hiding Farrell and his partner
in crime Brendan Gleeson display a hell
of a lot of chemistry despite the
constant bickering we what if he knew
karate say you said he was a lollipop
man he was a lollipop man what’s a girly
pop man don’t know karate but it’s
Farrell’s turn as the frenzied
guilt-ridden ray that won him the Golden
Globe for Best Actor so let’s be honest
this hilariously dark film wouldn’t be
the same without him you tore weird
she looks and cocaine do you agree with
