Critic Richard Roeper compares the acting of Ed Harris in the new film Phantom to the pitching of Steve Carlton with the 1972 Philadelphia Phillies. That team went 59-97, but Carlton won 27 of those games. Like Carlton on a losing team, Harris (according to Roeper) delivers a top-notch performance in a bad film.
I'll probably see Phantom when it comes out on DVD or arrives streaming through my Roku. I'm a sucker for submarine movies and honestly don't see how I can turn this one down.
But more importantly, Roeper's got me thinking.... What's the best performance I've ever seen in a bad film? I'm going to mull this one over for awhile.... Let me know what you come up with.
