Colin Farrell: 5 Awesome Performances and 5 That Sucked
He'll be starting the reactor soon enough, but before that let's take a look back at some of the successes and missteps of Colin Farrell's career to date.
Colin Farrell has secured himself a reputation as a bit of a bad boy. With the smouldering good looks, the twinkle of trouble in his eye and his lady-killing Irish drawl hes inadvertently found himself in a bit of a Marmite situation you either love him or you hate him. However you feel about this native Dubliner, the fact remains that hes here to stay. And its not all teen heart-throb drivel. Admittedly some of it might be, but much of his body of work is actually stellar stuff. Hes found himself in several huge roles since his tenure on the BBC Ireland-set soap Ballykissangel and has consistently displayed the type of range thats required to operate as a Hollywood leading man. In August, hell have the chance to show that range again. Stepping into Arnold Schwarzennegers comedically over-sized boots to play Total Recalls Douglas Quade, all eyes are turning on him; both the eyes of his fans, and the eyes of those out there whore praying to the god of movie reboots that he doesnt tarnish a once great movie property. Lets take a look back over Colin Farrells ever lengthening career and weigh up his greatest performances against those he wishes wed all forget.
