Top to Bottom: Al Pacino

 

9.

Jack Kevorkian

You Don’t Know Jack (2010)

“Because it's my name. Because I cannot have another in my life. Because I'm not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang. How may I live without my name? I've given you my soul. Leave me my name.”

 

It is good to know that 30 years after his prime, Pacino can still give a performance that is as good as any. His performance here is astonishing. It is basically a one-man-show, and Pacino of course relishes in that and is mesmerizing on screen. His character here is full of harvested emotion and sadness. The controversy surrounding the film’s subject only makes his performance stand out even more, and the court scenes in particular are really where Pacino does his thing. It is a sad performance, and yet one that will get under your skin and stick with you.
