Alexander (Not Yet Released)

No big time actors? His first big role was American Outlaws, immediately followed, in order, by Hart's War (Bruce Willis), Minority Report (Tom Cruise), Phone Booth (Forest Whitaker and Keifer Sutherland), The Recruit (Al Pacino), Daredevil (Ben Affleck), then SWAT (Samuel Jackson) Yeah, no big time actors there... Opposed to Jolie's last 30 movies: Ethan Hawk, Edward Burns, Antonio Banderas, Jon Voight, Nicholas Cage, Denzel Washington, Billy Bob Thornton, Sean Connery, and Dennis Quaid. Honestly, I'd say Farrel has not only been in the same movie with big time "A" list actors, but he's had experience with better actors.

American Outlaws: "lets put him in a crap movie, with crap actors so the public will want more of this pretty faced "action/western star"
Hart's War (Bruce Willis), Minority Report (Tom Cruise), Phone Booth (Forest Whitaker and Keifer Sutherland), The Recruit (Al Pacino), Daredevil (Ben Affleck), then SWAT (Samuel Jackson)

this works for the public and the directors and casting folks call up little hottie and ask if he'll be in their movie so millions of teens will flock to the box office and waist their money on that cute face...
the movies get better because he's getting more money and the actors get better for the better movies and to make him look better...that's how it's going to be...he over plays it and the good actors (Willis,Pacino, and Jackson) can even that out...because they know...they are trained to handle that...it's their job.
