Drive, Blue Valentine, The Notebook (I know, I am not supposed to say that)? He is pretty consistently great. Wahlberg is consistently mediocre which is why I didn't list him. And he plays in too many bad or mediocre films. |
Gosling is a trend right thats all I can say about him. But Whalberg was great in almost every movie he was in. He might not have the talent of Collin Farell or Christian Bale, but he knows how to manage his career. Every movie he is in he nail the charater, because he gets roles suited for him mostly.
You should watch The Departed, there you can compare Whalberg to Legend Di Caprio and many many great actors, and he steels every scene he is in. He was great in The Fighter too altough Christian Bale had an advatange in this movie. Mark Whalberg has not so many high level movie like Di Caprio or Matt Damon but whenever he gets the chance he nails the role.
