P. Bettany: Godlike Genius Thereof.
Paul Bettany displays his towering talent in his portrayal here of serial killer Ted Kaczynski. Such examples of the following phenomenon are not without precedent, but they are rare fowl indeed. Bettany manages to be more Unabomber-esque than the Unabomber himself. Sure, it’s not possible; but this seems to pose little hindrance. Like G. Oldman as Stansfield, Olivier as Christian Szell, and Brando as Lee Clayton, Bettany simply has that much power to spare. Icy, disdainful menace, cloaked in “polite” conversation…this constitutes the primary weapon. But there are many others, some even invoking something like…sympathy. Indelible.
