Guy Pierce was okay, and Hayden Christensen was not as terrible as one might think - they problem with both performances was that the script is terrible - it is hard to know if either of them could embody their roles when both men are only asked to portray very shallow caricatures of warhol and Dylan - forced to utter ridiculous dialogue that neither man would have ever said in 100 lifetimes - and stuck in a by the numbers lifetime movie about addiction - with all the insight that a television movie could muster (maybe even less insight, actually) i think Dylan does have a reason to sue - although i'm not sure it is the wisest approach - i think we just have to hope there is a special place in hades for people who make slanderous films about famous people because it is so hard to sue - and i think his suit will probably sell tickets - especially from what i could see at the screening i went to today - there were quite a few people for a late afternoon screening (1/2 to 2/3's full) - compare that to diane arbus's family which ignored fur and watched it disappear from theaters almost immediately after its release - as for sienna, she's in all of her acting class glory, looking cute in the first half of the movie and bedraggled in the second - i'm sure she and harvey were fishing for an award - but if you watch angelina jolie in gia and then watch miller in this you will see what a lightweight performance it truly is -.
