Best: Fight Club (1999) Some crueller commenters might suggest that the instantly memorable scene in which Leto's Angel Face is handed a horribly haunting beating is justified punishment for the way he struts around under his 30 Seconds To Mars banner, but his overall performance is subtly impressive. Leto's naive swagger lends impact to the beating, and though he has enjoyed longer screen time elsewhere (such as in the excellent Requiem For A Dream,) his role, and what happens to him is so important in Fight Club that it's impossible not to acknowledge as (formerly) his best movie. Worst: Alexander (2004) Oliver Stone doesn't really do restraint, which is precisely why alarm bells should have been screaming the minute the notoriously outspoken director took the reigns on this bloated historical biopic. The whole affair is regrettable and sloppy, believing its own hype without any real qualifications, and Leto's performance is lost in the wider context of the film. He's also pretty bad in Urban Legend, but that wasn't anywhere near the attempted scale of Alexander, so the failure is less noticeable.
