The most disturbing movie scene of Hugh Jackman
Please don't get your pitchforks for what I'm about to admit but I only started respecting Hugh Jackman as a dramatic actor after watching 2013’s ‘Prisoners'. I always liked him as Wolverine and I think he is a lovely and inspiring man, but I could never take him seriously as a dramatic actor, even after watching ‘The Prestige'.
His performance in ‘Prisoners' is something that is not often seen on screen or on stage and, though I love the whole movie, my jaw always drops at his performance in the bathroom scene when he's interrogating Paul Dano's character.
He managed to showcase his range by showing us fear, guilt, determination, hatred and despair in his facial expressions alone. And on top of that, he had to act violently, ten times more violently than he ever had to as Wolverine, and he did it all masterfully.
I love many of his movies, but I think that he'll never be able to top this performance, not because he can't, but because I'm sure it must have taken a huge toll on him.
