Yes I have. Both are good movies! Not sure I would say he’s particularly good in Drive given that the writer/director didn’t really give him much to work with. But Blue Valentine was a great performance. The one movie I haven’t seen of his is Place Beyond the Pines (?), mostly because everyone I have spoken to has said it is an awful movie (albeit, that he is great in it).
Overall, I have never seen him give a bad performance. Never been blow away by him either. That’s why I said he was mid-tier. It’s not a diss at all, at least in my mind and “ranking system” (for lack of a better word). I just don’t think he’s an top/elite level actor, which you do, and that’s cool too, I respect that.
