I thought Angelica Houston was fine in The Grifters.. so far, I've enjoyed Harvey Keitel in one movie... Smoke. Either he's as disguting in real life as he is in almost every movie and he acted up a storm in Smoke, or the reverse... He's a nice guy who is brilliant in playing disgusting characters. I was flipping around channels and stumbled upon The Bad Leitenant. I watched about threee minutes of it and felt like vommiting. What an actor. Now, Richard Widmark and Robert Ryan could play really mean bastards and I could identify with them, because they made a lot of memorable wise cracks in the process. Keitel reminds me of the Huey Lewis song. Sometimes Bad Is Bad.
