Our Take On The Giant Trailer
Is This Pierce Brosnan’s Best Performance In Years?
Based on the trailer forGiant, boxing trainer Brendan Ingle might be Pierce Brosnan’s best performance in years, anda role that could see him receive renewed critical attention. Boxing trainers have long been reliable vehicles for Oscar nominations, from Burgess Meredith’s Micky inRocky(1976) to Christian Bale’s Oscar-winning performance as Dicky Eklund inThe Fighter(2010).
Though Brosnan’s performance might not be enough for him to receive his first Oscar nomination of his career, it’s nice to see that he still has a surprising transformation left in him.
With Sylvester Stallone acting as an executive producer onGiant, the comparisons toRockyshould be that much stronger. Though Brosnan’s performance might not be enough for him to receive his first Oscar nomination of his career, it’s nice to see that he still has a surprising transformation left in him.
