What would you like to see Timothy Olyphant (or other typecast actors) play?
Alex C:
Yeah, the Reeve movie KvP is referring to is Street Smart, an OK movie that Freeman pretty much carries. He got his first Academy nom for it, actually. Seongyong Cho (who I found out about by way of Roger Ebert) wrote a pretty good summation of it just recently. It's a bit spoilery, but like I said, it's mostly a movie that's memorable for Freeman's performance, so you're not really missing out on much by being introduced by bits and pieces. I personally have a hard time getting past some of the "Whoa, the '80s" moments and some of the more glaring plotholes, but it's definitely interesting to see how different Freeman's first big role is from the stuff he's taken on in later years.

If it is the one I am thinking of, I'm not sure I would really consider him a villain. A villain in that his actions go against the actions of the main protagonist, but it isn't all that clearcut which one was in the right.

Steve Buscemi as a confident ladies' man.

Is it Invictus?
It's Invictus isn't it.
What a great swerve, make Mandela the bad guy why didn't I think of that
David_Dovey:
anyway I don't see how Hitman was a mould-breaker for Tim Olyphant, he played a perpetually pissed off guy who is handy with a gun and not an awful lot of time for those goddamned stupid weak women.
