I’ll have to check out Shoot Em Up! I looked at his filmography, and I think the only movie I’ve seen him in was The Bourne Identity.

Shoot Em Up was so much fun! I genuinely think you’d like it, I’ve never seen The Bourne Identity!

I’ll definitely have to check it out. I think you’d like the Bourne Identity. I love the first three movies. I haven’t seen The Bourne Legacy (with Jeremy Renner) or the latest Jason Bourne movie. I’ll eventually get to those too I’m sure.

You know, all I can remember about Shoot Em Up is the sex scene Clive Owen has with Monica Bellucci. What is bad is part of me is happy to see a semi naked Ms Bellucci while another part of me is just disturbed by that scene.

I shouldn’t say this but the main thing I think of is Paul Giamatti. He’s so good in this! But the point is Clive Owen so… 🙂 I can understand you remembering that scene so well, you’re only human!

Ah I still have a bit of a crush on Monica Bellucci even though she’s quite a bit older than me! And Paul Giamatti is good on most things he does.

She’s very alluring!! And yes agreed, he’s a good actor and I especially like him as a baddie 🙂

I can’t even think of too many films he’s a baddie in. I best remember him from The Negotiator, Lady in the Water and Sideways (which is an amazing movie!!!)

Shoot Em Up is a good one as he is a bad ass in it.

My favorite Clive Owens role would be Theo in “Children of Men” as well, but I also loved him in “Gosford Park”, “Closer” and the suspense film “Derailed” – which also starred Jennifer Aniston, who gave a surprisingly good dramatic performance.

Great choices! He doesn’t always spring to mind when you first think of ‘really memorable’ films but the more I think, the more great films he’s been in / roles he’s played!

Derailed was very good actually. I’m not all that big a lover of his American accent though.

Always feel a bit disappointing when there’s a dodgy accent! And there’s plenty of them, even from great actors.

Just watched X-men First Class again today and Michael Fassbender’s accent COMPLETELY goes at the very end of the film.

He does go really Irish in places, I heard that too and he’s the language king lol!!!

lol I wasn’t really a fan of his accent turn but that’s a good movie. And obviously J Lawrence is in it which is always good.

From the choices, I agreed with you on ‘Shoot Em Up’. Fun film, and all about Owen. For myself, I would choose between ‘Croupier’ (1998), where he is perfectly cast, or ‘Close My Eyes’ (1991), where a younger Clive shows his more sensitive side.
As ever, Pete. XXX
