If youâre in the mood for a
diverting if violent exercise, this weekend you can watch a 28-year-old
Vincent DâOnofrio as a doomed jarhead in Full Metal Jacket, then hop to Fox Tower and watch a 51-year-old Vincent DâOnofrio as a doomed Cleveland mob underboss in Kill the Irishman.
DâOnofrio rarely makes it through a picture unscathed: He has embraced
the features that make him seem like a diseased child, a hopeless cause,
and it may be that he never quite recovered from the beneath-the-brows
breakdown Kubrick had him perform in the Jacket barracks. Heâs still plumbing his major malfunction. Laurelhurst.
- Best paired with: Widmer Hefeweizen.
- Also showing: True Grit (Academy, Bagdad, Kennedy School, Laurelhurst, Mission, St. Johns, Valley), Blood Simple (Mission).
