Okay, so it's about 2 minutes of speech, when typed out it's HUGE!

If you’re a fan of Michael Caine, you’ll be pleased to learn that this is the old-fashioned, series , wavy-hair, ultra-cockney version of Michael Caine, and his performance really underscores the fact that he is one of those true, he’s in the iron man club of acting. One of those few actors that is always good, no matter what the character is, no matter what the movie is, whether his expectations for the role are high or low, he is always good.

There aren’t a whole lot of actors in that category, Morgan Freeman is one, Gene Hackman probably the king of iron men, John Cusack, Jack Lemon, Michael Caine, these are actors of whom you could say, they’re just plain always good; when they’re in little low-budget indepedant high impact heavy-lifting dramatic roles, they’re great, when they are the scientist on the undersea, deep space rescue mission that has to explain how the big glowing ball is actually a conduit between the past and the present, they’re good in that too. Even in Jaws 3D Michael Caine was good, I think chiefly because, they always focus on the acting, their job is to use every performance as an opportunity to learn. They never get trapped in one single character. Michael Caine, the fact that he was able to escape his Alfie character, as the lovable wavy-haired cockney rogue and has been able to move on to different performances in every single decade is just a testimony to how much work he puts into this and how much he values the decision he made to not work for his uncle’s paint store and give this acting thing a try.

You see so many different actors that have managed to stay working for twenty thirty years, usually, it follows a very very tired and very very sad path, like Christopher Walken. Really great actor when he first started getting roles, big roles in the 70s, you could see, this is a guy who could be one of those iron men; but then he started letting his looks and letting his delivery dictate how he acts in every single movie so he became the creepy guy and he became typecast as the creepy guy and now he finds himself in hell where he has to parody his own typecasting, he does probably the most successful and the most accurate Christopher Walken impersonation in the business.
