From Aaron Eckhart in The Dark Knight to Shelly Duvall in The Shining, these 10 performances are criminally underrated, according to Reddit.
Convincing and well-crafted performances are surely not an easy thing to do. Although several different actors have managed, over time, to conquer big titles thanks to their undeniable talents, other stars who have delivered believable performances have slightly fallen into oblivion over the years, whether that is because they were overshadowed by a big co-star or simply given the film's poor marketing or badly-timed release date.
9 Tom Cruise in 'Rain Man' While Tom Cruise is not to everyone's tastes, his talents are undeniable. In Barry Levinson's inspiring drama Rain Man, Cruise plays the supporting role of Charlie Babbitt alongside Dustin Hoffman's protagonist. "I think Oscar Isaac not getting nominated for best actor is one of the biggest snubs I've seen by the Academy," snobbysnob said. "That whole movie got snubbed really. When you consider that pretty much all the music was performed live, and not done in a booth and then edited it, it's pretty incredible."
6 Hugh Jackman in 'Prisoners' Whether we're talking about Jake Gyllenhaal's Detective Loki or Hugh Jackman's concerned father desperate to find his daughter, Denis Villeneueve's gritty crime drama is filled with amazing performances. Still, Gyllenhaal has managed to get more recognition for his work in the movie, with diverse award nominations up his sleeve.
4 Sam Rockwell in 'Moon' Sam Rockwell has always been a beloved actor in the industry with many people believing he is one of the best and most underrated stars of his generation. The actor portrays a man who has a personal crisis as he approaches the end of a three-year solo assignment mining helium-3 on the far side of the moon in this space science fiction film.
When asked what is a truly underrated acting performance, a Redditor quickly mentioned "James Mcavoy in Filth," a comment with which a different user agreed: "Fantastic actor, great rollercoaster-ride movie," the user anoleo201194 wrote.
