How does Ryan Phillippe continue to get work?

It's not who you know, it's who you blow.

LMFAO! I liked the shootout scenes in Way of the Gun but the movie sucked other than that. Isn't he in the new Eastwoood WW2 film or is that Paul Walker?

I guess we need crappy actors and films to contrast with the, admittedly few, good ones out there. What is good without evil? Dark without light? Aw who'm I kidding? He sucks too bad for words!

Is it me, or does this movie sound like The Recruit with Colin and Al Pacino? Young recruit handpicked by renown agent but agent is the bad guy. I generally don't like to complain about the lack of originally in Hollywood but this sounds like a retread.

Paul Walker is only slightly more tolerable than Phillippe (and that's being generous). I hope Clint has better judgement than that.

Actually when you think about it, Ryan Phillippe hasn't done all that much since fatherhood, say the last 4-5 years....I am looking forward to see what he's capable of.

No, see totally different. The Recruit was about a guy in the CIA.
This movie is about a guy in the FBI.

Whole different movie.
