  • @FreakUsOut
    He’s been in so many iconic movies and yet I feel like he’s so underrated. What a guy!
  • @betterchapter
    Jeremy Renner is one of the most underrated actors working today.
  • Casting Renner as Clint Barton ("Hawkeye") was a stroke of brilliance. In addition to looking vaguely suitable, he perfectly captured Clint's weary snark. Yes, super-heroic fantasy is preposterous, but we can still love the characters who display the most coherent inner truth. Renner nails this role, and excels at others as well.
  • @robertreid1579
    I'm so glad Jeremy talked about Arrival. Such a brilliant movie, and also one of my favourite movies that came out in 2016. 2016 had a lot of great movies that year.
  • @elhopper3735
    Hawkeye will forever be one of my favorite Marvel characters. He’s so under appreciated and he’s doing a fantastic job in the Hawkeye show as well. Delivering those emotional scenes and grumpy dad comments with ease. Got me into archery too!
  • @Serenify10
    Jeremy Renner, the dude is so much more talented than he’s given credit for! So down to earth and humble. He deserves all the success he gets!
  • @manavbhalla2861
    And this excluded SWAT and MI4 and so much more. Man this guy has done some great movies
  • @willjoc
    You can tell Jeremy pays deep attention to his roles. His description of his role in The Hurt Locker was super intriguing. Seems like a super humble guy!
  • @elhopper3735
    So glad he talked about Bourne! Loved him as Aaron Cross and really hope they make another one with him in it someday
  • @kuzz1191
    ill always love jeremy for the way he delivered that one line "if you could see your whole life before it happened would you changed anything?" "maybe id say how i feel more often" i just relate to that so much its stuck with me
  • @shikhar.awasthi
    Wind River should be talked about more. It's almost become a movie that only select few have seen and it propagates via word of mouth!
  • @BooneLuleyo
    Wind River is such an underrated masterpiece. Mayor of Kingston is amazing too. Jeremy Renner is such an great actor for real. Those two pieces of art are just proof of that.
  • @carolpaci9990
    So excellent in all he does .HurtLocker an amazing role for him hope he will be okay after this very tragic accident .
  • I’m sad they didn’t include Ghost Protocol. He has great stories about that movie. But yeah, Arrival and Wind River and Hurt Locker are some of my all-time favorites 💜
  • @moc0097
    That culture scock incident he went though in Starbucks after filming Hurt Locker really hits, puts things in perspective.
  • @delrey874
    Hurt Locker, Ghost Protocol, Arrival, and Wind River are some of my favorite movies.
  • @Dani-rz8dj
    I wept and still weep every time I watch Arrival, too, Jeremy 🥺 One of the most beautiful films of all time.
  • Yes he finally talks about American Hustle, Arrival and Wind River, unlike in the Vanity Fair video. Such great movies, especially Arrival. The guy behind the camera essentially conveyed my feelings for that movie.
  • My son was EOD for the Marines. He used to say, when I would ask if it made him nervous, “If I do my job right, it’s not a problem and if I do it wrong, it’s no longer my problem.”
