I saw The Last Three Days yesterday.
Russel Crow was caring father who did impossible to rescue his wife from prison and his son out of the country. He is a professor so his venture to crime was like a "bildung" road.
It crossed my mind that there are few actors who could play such good guys with a charachter and at the same time without so-called diabolic note in themselves.
Russell Crow.
And who else?

Real life good guy, former fireman, volunteered to help with the 911 attack clean up.

First, Buscemi was a hero indeed, he interfered to save coleagaue's life and almost got killed and earned a life-time scar in process.
By the way same as Don Stroud - notorious bad guy in film - who saved a man's life in a park and lost his eye.
Sinister thread was about, that Bucsemi's role in Fargo "predicted" that real event, and that Stroud was shot in the eye in the art crime mystery film Games directed by Curtis Harrington (starred James Caan, one of my favourite mystery movies).
And that famous bad guy Vic Morrow's death on shoting scene in helicopter accident was "predicted" in art film Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (with Peter Fonda and Susan George), in which Vic Morrow was a bad cop chasing Fonda and Miss George (and Adam Roarke) in crazy helicopter-manhunt in which he got killed.
Originally posted by PonderableEven when he plays a rather mundane character (or even a bad guy), Ben Kingsley always turns in a Grade A performance. Ever since I became aware of him with Gandhi, I've been noticing his career in film.
Ben Kingsley as Gandhi was a very strong performance in my opinion.
