Heat (Michael Mann, 1995)
Robber dedicated to the thrill, Michael Cheritto is used to nickname his interlocutors “the artist” and is ready to do anything to follow the genius Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) in his shots. A character as touching as it is disturbing, Michael is probably the most emblematic role of Tom Sizemore’s career. During a mythical scene in a diner, he throws himself a terrifying look to a fellow witness of the beating of the monster Waingro (Kevin Gage), seconds before his botched execution.
During the central steering of Heat, monument of unparalleled fury from which shell casings ricochet by the dozen on the sidewalks of Los Angeles, Michael tries to escape his side. Even his last look is particularly suggestive, and seems to mean that he rejects death in one last rush of adrenaline knowing that it is already over for him.
To the open grave (Martin Scorsese, 1999)
In To the open graveyounger brother of Taxi driver directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader, paramedic Frank Pierce (Nicolas Cage) makes his nightly rounds through the streets of New York with three colleagues: the tired Larry (John Goodman), the loquacious Marcus (Ving Rhames) and Tom played by Tom Sizemore. While Frank no longer sleeps and is on the verge of melting, desperate because he can no longer save her neighbor, Tom sees it differently.
When he boards his vehicle for long hours spent under the blinding artificial lights of the tacky, drug-plagued megacity, he’s in for action. Tom, for example, loves beating up poor Noel (Marc Anthony), a water-addicted drifter that Frank keeps running into. The impulsiveness of Tom Sizemore’s character adds even more madness to the hellish journeys ofTo the open gravein perfect accord with Nicolas Cage’s hallucinatory and desperate air.
We have to save Private Ryan (Steven Spielberg, 1998)
The story ofWe have to save Private Ryan it is the story of a team, of a group, even before that of individuals. But Tom Sizemore, thanks to the mere presence of him, with few lines of dialogue, immediately stands out as the closest to Captain Miller (Tom Hanks).
His confidant, his comrade in arms in all battles, his friend, the one who understands him best, the one who dies at his side. Kind of like the presence of him with Robert De Niro in it Heat, he is this perfect supporting role, theoretically secondary but so essential.
Strange days (Kathryn Bigelow, 1995)
Exciting and thrilling cyberpunk thriller, Strange days gives Tom Sizemore the craziest haircut of his career. The actor here lends his likeness to Max Peltier, a detective who comes to the aid of ex-cop Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) in his investigation, a few hours before the transition to the year 2000. Transformed into a trafficker illegal videos that allow you to experience all possible situations by proxyLenny starts getting pictures of real murders.
In the sticky, ultra-violent streets of Los Angeles, Tom Sizemore is like a fish in water. A troubled and memorable role that marks a new collaboration between the actor and Kathryn Bigelow after Breaking point AND BlueSteel.
The Fall of the Black Falcon (Ridley Scott, 2001)
Ridley Scott’s war film brings together a colossal cast, including Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Tom Hardy and Eric Bana. Within the phenomenal cast of The Fall of the Black FalconTom Sizemore does well in the role of Lieutenant Colonel McKnight, soldier who remains stoic as his Humvees are assailed by rockets and bullets.
Even when hit, the soldier does not flinch. A character who carries touches of humor amidst the chaos.
