Viggo Mortensen in 'The Road'

Viggo Mortensen could just take hero roles like in 'The Lord Of The Rings' but Viggo rarely takes the easy road. Viggo is one of the hottest men in Hollywood who has given us countless nude scenes. Viggo is also one of Hollywood's most interesting actors making movies and taking on roles in movies that are risky. Risky because actors like Bruce Willis and Tom Cruise cater more to their audience than to the craft of acting and movie making. Viggo does no such thing. Some of his movies are hits, some are misses.

Last years 'The Road' was one of those movies. Most certainly a bomb by Hollywoods 'money making' standard. Many reviewers called it Bleak and disturbing, and one the most difficult films of the year to watch. But...they also said don't miss it and that it is one of the most riveting, emotionally draining, and strangely beautiful films of the decade. That, to me is a Viggo Mortensen movie.
