JEROEN KRABBÉ
as General Georgi Koskov
in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS
Evading the feared bottom 5, but falling just outside the top 20, Koskov's highest score was one 5th place, with also one 7th and one 9th place amongst his biggest achievements.
Three more top 15's were noted. Georgi won't be too happy though with the 10 ratings he was awarded outside the top 20. No bottom 2's however for Koskov, but five bottom 5's nonetheless.
Georgi Koskov received 85 points in total.
Koskov's development from being a kind of jovial eccentric to being shown to be a loathsome opportunist is done really well, and Krabbe hits every note perfectly as far as I'm concerned.
Very good description and opinion. I ranked him only at #21 but he could easily be a few spots better. Once again, he is missing some usual main villain qualities but suits the film in a very good way.
So far my bottom 6 picks and #19 are all out... looking at Strombo to be next!
That's kind of how I've always felt about the two. Necros is way more dangerous and threatening. Still, I enjoy them for what they are, even if they aren't amongst my favorites (Koskov especially).
A real-world villain, suitable for the more real-world Dalton films. Koskov is definitely a favourite of mine.
MATHIEU AMALRIC
as Dominic Greene
in QUANTUM OF SOLACE
QOS's baddie received three top 10's: two 6th places and one 8th spot. He ended up in seven more top 15's, on four occasions he was given the 15th spot.
Five bottom 5's were also noted. Greene's worst rating was bottom of the table, on one occasion.
In total Dominic Greene obtained 90 points.
Agreed with every point here. I probably should have had him higher. I gave him 14th.
Or as has been pointed out, his manic fighting against Bond is excellent, and totally surpasses any concept you may have had about an Amalric vs Craig showdown. He looks like he could kill Bond.
It's the believability that really pushes him over for me. I believe everything the movie tells me about him. And his greaseball characterization is expressed perfectly not only in Amalric's performance, but in some fantastic wardrobe choices...
Agreed! Greene also gets one of THE standout cool scenes in the series for me, when he and Bond come face to face at rhe bottom of the stairs at the Opera!
Now how the hell did I leave that out?! Wonderful moment.
Great moment. I love that look the two share before going separate ways, with their own separate senses of urgency. The entire Tosca sequence is brilliance to me.
+1
I think I remember reading that the way Greene randomly stamped strips of paper in his introduction was just something Amalric came up with. I love it.
Controlling Bolivia's water supply and installing a dictator there is pretty big. And remember, his organization was already at work on Canada's water supply, the biggest in the world. Surely it compares favorably to funding terrorists/winning a card game!
