The movie Ricochet is a really stupid plot with so many implausibilities.
The ONLY thing for me that made part of a rewatch tolerable the other night was John Lithgow as the villain.
This was not the only movie where he had that role but IMO he is or was perfect in that role.
First of all, he just looks like a bad guy.
I could never see him cast as playing the POTUS in a movie.
Second, he plays a psychopath perfectly.
He goes to the edge of almost overdoing it but then pulls it back enough to come across as an evil genius.
Less is more and he is so great at being subtle and collected while he murders his victims without hesitation and mercy.
Of course he loses the fight against the good guy but at least he does not give long winded speeches giving them the chance to get the upper hand.
Agree, disagree, discuss Lithgow and his roles as a villain.
