Watching this movie I gotta hand it to Tobey its a really haunting showing of soldiers with PTSD. As someone who's known a couple of people with it its almost scary how accurate his hollowed eyes or thousand yard stare can capture the anguish hes feeling.
I know he got a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in it but I wonder what the reason for it not receiving more acclaim was. Probably have to check the other nominees that year but.
Another thing I notice is when people praise his performance they often go for the scenes where he has a dramatic outburst. But he really shines in the quiet moments where hes staring out in the distance or the scene where he sees Joe's son crawling towards him while his wife is talking to the mother.
All in all just a masterful job makes me also wonder whats happened to Tobey's career as of recent also.
