Part 8/10:
Performances Under Scrutiny
The cast of Brave New World featured notable talents such as Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, both of whom carried a weight of expectation based on their previous performances. Yet, audiences were left scratching their heads as perceptions of lackluster performance pervaded. Critics described Ford’s portrayal of Thaddeus Ross as being devoid of excitement and depth, citing that his passion seemed to falter amid the awkward proceedings.
Despite initial excitement around having a diverse cast, the roles often failed to provide memorable performances or moments that you would expect from seasoned actors. This realization left fans wondering why such talent appeared wasted in a poorly constructed narrative.
