Joseph Gordon-Levitt is good for a pretty boy actor though.
I find him more uneven than terrible. Platoon, Talk Radio, Wall Street, Wall Street Money Never Sleeps, W. and The Doors were all good movies to me. I really hated 4th of July, Nixon and Alexander. The other few I've seen were just middling.
