I saw Bettany in Gangster No. 1 last night, and was utterly chilled by his beyond fantastic performance. Casting him in such a role was a stroke of genius. I mean, the guy played a younger version of Malcolm McDowell, for C's sake! How PERFECT is that?! He was so murderous and violent and heartless and cold, and at the same time so angelic and schoolboyish in his appearance... I mean, in one scene he questioned this guy, and the guy literally fainted with fear! Brilliant! He also strangely resembled Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand. The fact that Malcolm McDowell is most remembered for playing someone named Alex hasn't escaped this nerdish mind of mine. Hehehe...
