I started to notice Mark Ruffao after Foxcatcher. I love how he acts so seamlessly without being dramatic. Yes, I totally enjoyed Spotlight. Once I noticed him, I went back and watched Shutter Island and Scorpio again. I can't even remember that he was in Collateral. He certainly is in a class of his own.Incredible performance by Mark Ruffalo in Dark Waters. I was downtown on a weeknight and wanted to catch a flick, but felt like something non-mainstream blockbuster so i checked out Tinseltown which is great for playing these films (compared to friggin Metropolis where i live close to). Saw Dark Water without reading any reviews and glad I did.
Obviously, you MUST have seen Spotlight which Mark was nominated for an Oscar. The film was about a very scary, disgusting story revealed about the Vatican Churches mainly in Boston. After seeing that, I confidently knew Dark Waters was at least worth a watch w/Ruffalo.
