      Gigli, Daredevil and Pearl Harbor. Three absolutely terrible films that harmed his career for years. Daredevil being one of the worst comic book films of the 2000's, Pearl Harbor being a film with great production value and cinematography but an absolute ass of a script was maybe the most damaging as the technical mastery of that film ends up highlighting on how absolutely terrible that script is, and Gigli is just straight up one of the worst films of the decade
      He is a talented actor (and a really good director) but those three films basically gave him an image of one of the worst actors in Hollywood, which he absolutely is not

    The town is one of my favorite movies. While it’s big in plot and action, the characters are grounded and relatable. So you can watch it on a deep level, get involved in the depth of characters, or you can zone out and enjoy borrowing your friends car to shoot a guys kneecap off. Seen that movie maybe 50 times.
